Norway opens hearings into 11 ministers over Epstein-linked ties and grants

Norway’s parliament opened public hearings Sept. 30 before its scrutiny committee into 11 current and former ministers over alleged Epstein ties and grants. The inquiry centers on 130 million kroner to the International Peace Institute, led by Terje Rod-Larsen, after U.S. Justice Department files released in January revived questions. Findings from a separate inquiry are due Jan. 31, 2028.
