This development has come to light at a time when he has been accused of serious corruption related to late American businessman Jeffrey Epstein. The case has caused a stir in Norwegian politics and international diplomatic circles.
It is being told that recently the investigation against him was intensified at the official level. Meanwhile, news of his health deteriorating and suicide attempt came. However, a detailed medical bulletin in this regard has not been made public. His close ones say that he was under constant mental pressure.
Controversy increased due to Epstein connection
Jeffrey Epstein’s name has already been linked to many high-profile celebrities. Jagland’s name also came into discussion after the documents surfaced in the files of America’s Justice Department. The files reportedly indicate that Jagland and her family visited Epstein’s properties in Paris, New York and Palm Beach. There was also mention of a possible trip plan to Epstein’s private island ‘Little St. James’.
According to reports, Epstein had asked Jagland for help in arranging meetings with some influential leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin. Apart from this, there was also talk of promoting some financial schemes. However, these claims have not yet been independently confirmed.
Jagland’s side denies the allegations
Thorbjorn Jagland has categorically denied all allegations. He said that he did not do anything illegal. He described the Epstein contact as a “misjudgment” but said his intention was not to seek personal gain. He has assured full cooperation to the investigating agencies.
According to his statement, the meetings with Epstein were formal and limited. He also said that he did not misuse his official position in exchange for any alleged favor or benefit. His lawyers say that it is not appropriate to draw conclusions before the investigation is completed.
Jagland remained active in Norwegian politics for a long time. He was the Prime Minister of the country from 1996 to 1997. Apart from this, he has also been the Foreign Minister of Norway. His international recognition was further strengthened when he became Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. He later also served as Secretary General of the Council of Europe.
