The Council of Europe has unanimously decided to lift the immunity of former Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland, allowing for a potential investigation into alleged criminal actions during his time in office.
On Wednesday morning, a unanimous decision by the Ministerial Committee of the Council of Europe led to the lifting of Thorbjørn Jagland's immunity. This significant move allows Norwegian authorities, specifically Økokrim, to investigate Jagland for possible criminal activities that may have occurred during his tenure as Secretary General. Such a decision is unusual and highlights the serious considerations surrounding allegations of misconduct.
