BREAKING - Norway's Former PM Used Epstein's Apartments for 7 Years. Then Came the Gross Corruption Charge.
Description
Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjorn Jagland has been charged with gross corruption by Norwegian financial crime unit Okokrim on February 12 2026, following revelations in EFTA documents showing he and his family used Jeffrey Epstein private apartments in Paris and New York repeatedly between 2011 and 2018, stayed at Epstein villa in Palm Beach, and that Epstein likely covered travel costs for six adults. Jagland also reportedly solicited Epstein for help obtaining a bank loan. To file charges, Norway had to request the Council of Europe lift Jaglands diplomatic immunity from his decade as its Secretary General — an institution explicitly tasked with protecting human rights across Europe. Days after the charges, Norwegian outlet iNyheter reported Jagland was hospitalized following a suicide attempt. That report has not been officially confirmed. Several other Norwegian public figures are also under investigation including Crown Princess Mette-Marit, diplomats Mona Juul and Terje Rod-Larsen, and WEF CEO Borge Brende.
