Jeffrey Epstein frequently touted his ties to influential figures, including Thorbjorn Jagland, the former head of the Nobel Peace Prize committee. The released documents depict how Epstein used this connection to engage with global elites like Richard Branson, Larry Summers, and Bill Gates.
Thorbjorn Jagland has now been charged with aggravated corruption in Norway, following an investigation triggered by information found within the Epstein files. The Norwegian police economic crime unit, Okokrim, is examining whether gifts, travel, and loans were improperly linked to Jagland's prestigious role.
While no clear evidence has emerged that Epstein directly lobbied for the Nobel Peace Prize, he did highlight hosting Jagland at his properties. The unfolding scandal also implicates others, such as Norwegian diplomat Terje Rod Larsen, indicating the wide reach of Epstein’s network.
