Terje Rød-Larsen has been interrogated by Økokrim in Oslo
Terje Rød-Larsen was interrogated by Norwegian police's Økokrim regarding his connection to Jeffrey Epstein, while maintaining his innocence and offering explanations about various matters.
Terje Rød-Larsen, a notable figure, has recently been interrogated by Økokrim, Norway's economic crime unit, in Oslo. According to his lawyer, John Christian Elden, Rød-Larsen has provided a detailed account to Økokrim regarding various issues that have raised questions. However, the charges against him do not reference specific actions, making it difficult to ascertain what exactly he is suspected of, and he maintains that he does not acknowledge any criminal guilt.
Amidst the investigation, Rød-Larsen has clarified his health situation prior to discussing his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, which includes their interactions and financial matters. The interrogation has been characterized by Økokrim officials as cooperative, with the head of the investigation, Marianne Bender, stating that he seemed willing to work with them. This cooperation suggests Rød-Larsen's openness to address the matters of interest to investigators while trying to navigate the complexities of the ongoing legal scrutiny.
Additionally, Rød-Larsen has lifted the confidentiality obligation on his former lawyers regarding the purchase of an apartment in the Frogner area, allowing them to speak freely to Økokrim about that transaction. This move highlights his intention to clear up any preconceived notions and provide a transparent perspective on the dealings that have come under investigation, emphasizing the importance of legal clarity in high-profile cases such as his.
