Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland was hospitalised on Tuesday (February 24), just a few days after he was charged with serious corruption offences, linked to his association with paedophile Epstein.
Jagland was charged with “gross corruption” after newly released documents appeared to reveal a transactional relationship between the ex-PM and convicted paedophile, between 2011 and 2018.
Some Norwegian outlets have reported a suicide attempt but the high-profile statesman’s legal team has insisted he was rushed to hospital due to extreme stress instead of a deliberate act
Documents, among the millions released in the Epstein Files, appeared to show the relationship between the Norwegian and sex offender included requests for diplomatic favours, luxury travel and financial solicitations.
An investigation into the relationship and the ex-leader was launched by authorities in Norway into potential corruption – Jagland admitted “poor judgment”.
