Epstein used ties to Nobel committee head Jagland to gain access to elites; Jagland now faces corruption charges in Norway tied to Epstein files.
Jeffrey Epstein used his connection to Thorbjørn Jagland, former head of the Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize committee, to bolster his influence and attract high-profile figures including Richard Branson, Larry Summers, Bill Gates, and Steve Bannon, according to newly released U.S. Justice Department documents.
Epstein frequently referenced Jagland’s role in Nobel Prize decisions and invited elites to events where Jagland was present, leveraging his prestige without evidence of direct lobbying.
Jagland, who led the committee from 2009 to 2015, now faces aggravated corruption charges in Norway over alleged gifts, travel, and loans tied to his position, though he denies the allegations.
The investigation stems from information in the Epstein files, which also implicate Norwegian diplomat Terje Rød Larsen and his wife in related corruption probes.
The documents are being analyzed by a collaborative team of journalists.
