The Epstein affair has implicated several other prominent Norwegian personalities, including Queen Mette-Marit and former prime minister Thorbjørn Jagland.
A prominent former Norwegian diplomat, one of the architects of the Oslo Accords, will apologise for his dealings with late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a documentary to be broadcast on Wednesday evening.
Terje Rod-Larsen and his wife, fellow diplomat Mona Juul, are currently under investigation in Norway. Juul for “aggravated corruption” and Rod-Larsen for “complicity in aggravated corruption.”
They are both known for having played key roles in the secret Israeli-Palestinian negotiations that led to the Oslo Accords of the early 1990s.
In particular, police are investigating a loan given by Epstein, his involvement in the couple’s purchase of a flat in Oslo at below market price, a trip to the American financier’s island in 2011, and the payment of home help services for Rod-Larsen.
The couple deny having committed any offence.
Epstein had also in his will left $10 million (€8.7 million) to their two children. One of them took his own life in April aged 25.
