The hidden face of Jagland, the former prime minister of Norway linked to Epstein while he was part of the Nobel Committee

These documents provide information that questions the most influential men and women in the world from great magnates, to members of royalty or politicians.

Precisely one of those powerful men who is in the spotlight is Thorbjorn Jagland. The 75-year-old former Norwegian prime minister had had a long impeccable political career dedicated to contributing to the development and progress of his country, but also that of Europe and the rest of the world.

Something that seems to be in contrast to his recent accusation of “serious corruption” for the links he allegedly maintains with the sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.

Jagland was a man politically committed to Norwegian social democracy. active in the Labor Party and being the leader who upheld the values ​​of social democracy at the head of the party in 1992, a position he held until 2002.

It soon went from being a member of the Norwegian Parliament to be the Prime Minister of the country by succeeding Gro Harlem Brundtland after his resignation from office.

Thus he maintained a brief mandate of just one year – until October 17, 1997 – but with great determination to combat crime and modernize the country through his initiative that was known as the “Norwegian Home” which was intended to emphasize the well-being of society.

Thus, little by little, its political mood and its imprint committed to the popular classes of the country.

Of course, no one forgets that due to his promise to resign in the 1997 elections if he obtained less than 36.9% of the votes – a result of the previous elections in 1993 – Labor lost power.

Nobel a Obama

Thorbjorn Jagland had traced his impeccable career at the head of such prestigious institutions as the Norwegian Nobel Committee of which he was president.

In fact, he was one of the main promoters who pushed to award the Nobel Peace Prize to the president of the United States, Barack Obamain 2009. A decision that generated strong criticism for the war in Afghanistan.

And, while he defended human rights in public life at the head of this prestigious institution and was secretary general of the Council of Europe, in parallel, in his private life he maintained contact with Jeffrey Epstein.

Light on all this is shed by the files that show that at that time in his life, Jagland would have planned a trip with his family to the Epstein’s private island in 2014which was finally canceled according to the BBC.

Epstein had already been convicted of a child sex crime and, despite this, it is believed that Jagland planned visits to his homes in Paris, New York and Palm Beach. Some trips whose expenses would have been covered by the businessman.

Thus, little by little, that bond was forged between the two that led Jagland to have requested the help of the pedophile to obtain a bank loan, which is not proven to have materialized.

Congratulations from Spain

Precisely, in those years the Norwegian politician had a great international reputation for his position on the Nobel Committee but also for being the secretary general of the Council of Europe.

In fact, it became the first in history to be re-electedsomething that made him directly a guarantor of human rights in Europe.

A re-election that helped him obtain the international recognition from other countries such as Spain. At that time, the Government of Spain congratulated him for continuing to lead the organization and recognized “the important work” he had carried out in the “reform of the institution to make it more agile, effective and operational.”

Thus, read the statement published at that time by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was “convinced” that Jagland would continue “his commitment to the European human rights system”. For all this, they put the finishing touch by providing “the determined support of Spain.”

Without supports

From having international recognition and an impeccable political career, he has gone on to be questioned not only within their country but also in the European Union.

Now, what was its home for a decade, the Council of Europe, has lifted his immunity so as not to damage the prestige of the institution after being splashed in the Epstein case: “This will allow the Norwegian judicial system to do its job and Jagland, if prosecuted, to defend himself,” said the institution’s secretary general, Alain Berset.

Once Jagland is no longer protected, has been charged by the Norwegian Prosecutor’s Office and the police themselves have started to search their properties in Oslo, Risor and Rauland.

Among other things, it will be investigated whether you received loans, trips or gifts from Epstein in relation to the position he held at that time in the Council of Europe between 2011 and 2018.

Although his lawyer, Anders Brosveet, assures Reuters that, according to what has been known so far, “they trust the result”. And, according to Brosveet, the former prime minister wants to help ensure that this entire case is thoroughly investigated.

A case that has not only affected Thorbjorn Jagland but is shaking the Norwegian upper echelons, neither more nor less, than to the Royal House due to Princess Mette-Marit’s links with Epstein, which are seriously discrediting the institution among the population.
