Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland’s apartment in Oslo was raided by the police following the lifting of his immunity in connection with the Epstein case.
Thorbjørn Jagland, the former Prime Minister of Norway and ex-secretary general of the Council of Europe, has had his Oslo apartment raided, according to various Norwegian media sources. This police operation was carried out by the Økokrim unit, which focuses on financial crime, as confirmed by reports from VG and Norwegian TV 2, who were present at the scene. Officials were seen carrying boxes presumably for the collection of evidence during the raid.
The timing of the raid is significant, as it follows the decision by the Council of Europe to lift Jagland’s immunity from prosecution concerning allegations tied to the Epstein case. Jagland is under investigation for serious corruption due to his connections with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. This legal development raises critical questions about accountability and the extent of corruption linked to high-ranking officials.
In response to the allegations, Jagland has maintained his innocence through his lawyer, asserting that he has not committed any crime. The ongoing investigations and the resulting scrutiny of Jagland’s actions reflect broader concerns regarding political accountability and the implications of high-profile associations with individuals involved in criminal activities. The situation warrants close attention as it unfolds, given the potential impact on Norway's political landscape.
