Norway’s anti-corruption watchdog, Økokrim, has brought charges of aggravated corruption against former ambassador Mona Juul over information revealed in the Epstein files.
Juul’s husband, Terje Rød-Larsen, a former diplomat and former president of the International Peace Institute (IPI), faces charges of aiding and abetting.
The newly unsealed files related to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein have reportedly exposed the couple’s cozy relationship with the notorious sex offender and financier. Juul is named in the files 33 times.
Juul resigned in disgrace as Norway’s ambassador to Jordan and Iraq on Sunday.
