Terje Rød-Larsen, a notable figure in Norway, has been questioned by Økokrim, the Norwegian agency for the investigation of financial crimes, concerning the ongoing Epstein case. His lawyer, John Christian Elden, confirmed that Rød-Larsen has provided a thorough account of his dealings, asserting that he does not admit to any wrongdoing despite being charged with complicity in serious corruption. The investigation stems from information revealed in the Epstein files, linking Rød-Larsen and his wife, Mona Juul, to potential misconduct.

Rød-Larsen’s relationship with Epstein dates back approximately ten years, raising questions about the nature of their interactions. The charges against him lack specifics regarding the actions he is suspected of, complicating the legal proceedings. Elden noted that although no concrete actions are cited in the indictment, Rød-Larsen has offered detailed explanations concerning his connection with Epstein, especially considering his current health situation.

This development has attracted significant media attention in Norway, reflecting broader concerns about the implications of the Epstein scandal that continue to surface. The case not only affects Rød-Larsen personally but also highlights potential systemic issues of corruption and misconduct involving prominent individuals, further emphasizing the ongoing scrutiny from law enforcement agencies as they delve deeper into corruption linked to high-profile figures.
