Norwegian police have launched an investigation into two of the country's most prominent diplomats, Mona Juul and her husband Terje RΓΈd-Larsen, over their connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The couple played crucial roles in the historic Oslo Accords peace negotiations.

The investigation centers on allegations of aggravated corruption, with prosecutors examining financial transactions and gifts the couple may have received from Epstein. The diplomat's ties to the disgraced financier have raised questions about how Epstein cultivated relationships with influential figures worldwide.

Juul and RΓΈd-Larsen were key figures in the 1990s Middle East peace process, helping broker the historic agreement between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization. Their fall from grace represents a stunning reversal for figures once celebrated as international peace-makers.

The case is part of a broader pattern of revelations about Epstein's network of powerful associates. From politicians to scientists to royalty, the ongoing investigations continue to expose the extent of Epstein's influence.

For Gen Z learning about these events, the case demonstrates how wealth and influence can corrupt even those dedicated to noble causes.
