Documents related to Jeffrey Epstein show that he ordered 150 copies of Terje Rød-Larsen's 1300-page book on the Middle East conflict in 2014, with his foundation paying over 200,000 Norwegian kroner for the acquisition. This purchase is part of a larger pattern of financial transactions, gifts, and services connected to Rød-Larsen, a prominent diplomat who led the International Peace Institute for 15 years. Shortly after acquiring the books, Epstein sent 22 cases of them to the IPI.

Furthermore, the documents indicate that some of Rød-Larsen's bills for home help were sent to Epstein, although it remains unclear how these bills were ultimately settled. Norwegian financial authorities, Økokrim, are currently investigating prominent diplomat Mona Juul and her husband Rød-Larsen to determine if they received bribes through money, gifts, or services related to Epstein, raising serious ethical questions around their financial dealings.

The implications of these transactions could be significant, as they may suggest a deeper connection between Epstein and influential figures in Norway, potentially jeopardizing the reputations of both Rød-Larsen and Juul. The investigation continues, calling into question the integrity of high-profile international diplomacy and the influence of financial ties in political settings.
