Assessment: LIVING PERSON AT RISK​

Juul is under criminal investigation alongside her husband Terje Rød-Larsen. Their family received extraordinary financial benefits from Epstein — $10M willed to their children — suggesting a deep relationship that investigators are probing.

Background​

Mona Juul is a Norwegian diplomat and former Labour Party politician. She served as Norwegian ambassador to Iraq and Jordan and held various diplomatic positions. She is married to Terje Rød-Larsen, the diplomat described as Epstein's "top diplomatic fixer."

Epstein Connection​

  • Epstein listed each of Juul and Rød-Larsen's children in his will to receive $5 million each (approximately $10M total)
  • The family had close personal contact with Epstein over many years
  • Her name appears extensively in the DOJ-released Epstein files alongside her husband's
  • The relationship continued after Epstein's 2008 conviction

Resignation​

In February 2026, following the DOJ file releases, Juul resigned from her post as ambassador to Iraq and Jordan. The resignation came amid intense scrutiny of her contacts with Epstein and the financial benefits her family received.

Investigation​

Norway's economic crime authority, Økokrim:

  • Launched a corruption probe into both Juul and her husband
  • Searched their Oslo residence
  • The investigation focuses on whether the family's financial relationship with Epstein constituted corruption given their public positions
  • Reports indicate Juul could potentially face charges of aggravated corruption

Norway's Epstein Reckoning​

Juul's case is part of a broader crisis in Norway:

  • Her husband Terje Rød-Larsen is under investigation
  • Former PM Thorbjorn Jagland has been charged with corruption and hospitalized
  • Crown Princess Mette-Marit was named ~1,000 times in the files and publicly apologized
  • Norway's self-image as an ethical, transparent society has been shaken
