Norway parliament probes Epstein links to politicians, diplomats
Eleven current and former ministers will answer questions on foreign ministry grants and contacts tied to Epstein, as police and a commission also investigate.
- On Wednesday, 11 current and former Norwegian ministers began two days of parliamentary questioning regarding Foreign Ministry practices scrutinized due to Jeffrey Epstein revelations.
- Hearings examine Foreign Ministry grants to the International Peace Institute , a think tank formerly led by Terje Rod-Larsen, who maintained close contact with Epstein.
- Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, who served as foreign minister from 2005 to 2012, and former Foreign Minister Borge Brende are among those expected to testify.
- Committee chair Per-Willy Amundsen called the information "disturbing," while Okokrim investigates corruption allegations involving former ambassador Mona Juul, Rod-Larsen, and former Prime Minister Thorbjorn Jagland.
- Amundsen cautioned two days of hearings may be insufficient to establish a full account, as a separate commission continues investigating with a report expected in January 2028.
