"The release of the Epstein files in January sent shockwaves through Norway after several figures across the foreign office and royal family were named in them."
"Per-Willy Amundsen stated that Norwegians typically saw themselves as an open and democratic society without corruption, but the Epstein files had damaged trust in politicians."
"The commission will look at whether these relationships had any consequences for Norwegian interests and security, including the allocation of development aid."
Norway's parliament has initiated an independent commission to investigate connections between its foreign office and Jeffrey Epstein. This inquiry will examine relationships over the past 30 years, including the Oslo accords. The commission aims to assess any consequences these relationships may have had on Norwegian interests and security. The release of the Epstein files has shaken public trust in politicians, with calls for transparency and accountability to restore faith in democracy. The commission is expected to operate independently and report findings to the parliament.
