Norway parliament probes ministers over Epstein-linked funding

Under police investigation on corruption accusations

Norway's parliament opened public hearings on September 30, calling 11 current and former foreign and development ministers to explain the Foreign Ministry's 130 million kroner ($13.5 million) in grants to a New York think tank tied to Jeffrey Epstein. The money went to the International Peace Institute between 1997 and 2018, while Norwegian diplomat Terje Rød-Larsen led it from 2005 to 2020; Epstein also funded the institute.
