Norwegian police search homes of ex-PM Jagland in Epstein probe

On Feb 12, Norwegian police searched former prime minister Thorbjoern Jagland's homes in Oslo as part of an investigation into ties with Jeffrey Epstein, with images showing investigators carrying boxes.
Following the U.S. Justice Department's release of Epstein documents last week, Oekokrim opened an investigation into Jagland, who is also a former foreign minister.
In a 2014 email, Jagland sought Epstein's help financing an Oslo apartment, and 2018 emails show Epstein asked Jagland to arrange meetings with Sergei Lavrov, with Jagland promising to bring it up with Lavrov's assistant.
The Council of Europe lifted Jagland's diplomatic immunity before police searched his residence, and his lawyer Brosveet said `This does not represent any real change in the substance of the case, but is a legal consequence of the investigative methods used by the police`.
Jagland has denied ever visiting Epstein's private island while the investigation will seek to uncover whether gifts, travel and loans were received in connection with his official position; Oekokrim did not immediately reply to requests for comment.
