The release of 3 million files by the U.S. Department of Justice has sent shockwaves through Norway, exposing the deep ties between Jeffrey Epstein and the Nordic establishment.
Crown Princess Mette-Marit, former PM Thorbjørn Jagland, and WEF President Børge Brende are all featured in emails that reveal a chilling level of proximity to the convicted sex offender.
Editorial Perspectives
This is a macro-sociological study in “elite capture,” where Epstein used humanitarian masks to infiltrate the world’s most prestigious circles.
The scandal is exacerbated by the trial of the Princess’s son, Marius Borg Høiby, currently facing rape charges. The contrast between the Crown’s public image of peace-making and the private emails discussing “naked women” with a predator marks the end of royal exceptionalism in the North.
