The Epstein affair has implicated several other prominent Norwegian personalities, including Queen Mette-Marit and former prime minister Thorbj\u00f8rn Jagland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The couple deny having committed any offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Epstein had also in his will left $10 million (\u20ac8.7 million) to their two children. One of them took his own life in April aged 25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
