Assessment: LIVING PERSON AT RISK​

Rød-Larsen has been described by Bloomberg as Epstein's "top diplomatic fixer" in Europe. His deep financial and personal ties to Epstein, combined with the pattern of connected figures dying or being silenced, make him a person of concern — particularly as Norway's criminal investigation intensifies.

Background​

Terje Rød-Larsen is a Norwegian diplomat and politician who played a key role in the Oslo Accords (1993) that attempted Israeli-Palestinian peace. He held senior positions at the United Nations and in Norwegian government. His wife is Mona Juul, who served as Norwegian ambassador.

Epstein Connection​

Rød-Larsen had one of the deepest European relationships with Epstein:

  • Epstein ordered $250,000 paid to Rød-Larsen in 2015 for reasons that remain unknown
  • Epstein's will left approximately $5 million to each of Rød-Larsen and Juul's children (totaling ~$10M)
  • His name appears thousands of times in the DOJ-released Epstein files
  • Bloomberg described him as Epstein's top "diplomatic fixer" who helped cultivate relationships between Epstein and the European far right and MAGA movement
  • The relationship continued well after Epstein's 2008 conviction

Investigation​

Norway's economic crime authority, Økokrim:

  • Launched a corruption investigation into Rød-Larsen and his wife Mona Juul
  • Searched their Oslo residence and a witness residence
  • Questioned Rød-Larsen over alleged corruption related to Epstein ties
  • The investigation centers on whether benefits received from Epstein constituted corruption given Rød-Larsen's public positions

Controversial Remarks​

The Epstein files revealed derogatory remarks by Rød-Larsen, including the phrase "Kill Indian First" in communications, which drew international condemnation.

Key Quotes from Media Coverage​

"Jeffrey Epstein left little doubt about the value he placed on a Norwegian diplomat and his ambassador wife to tap a network of officials with ties to the United Nations and the Nobel Peace Prize. In his will, the pedophile financier bequeathed the couple's two children $5 million each." — Bloomberg (February 2026)

"The newly released US Justice Department files expose a relationship involving illicit loans, visa fraud for sex-trafficked women, and a beneficiary clause in Epstein's will worth millions of dollars." — Al Jazeera (February 2026)

"Norwegian authorities alerted U.S. Epstein investigators in 2019 after reports that Roed-Larsen's think tank, the International Peace Institute, allegedly brought in young and unqualified women from Eastern Europe on very short internships whose photos were shared with Epstein." — Bloomberg (February 2026)

"Have you heard the saying: when you meet an Indian and a snake, kill the Indian first!" — Terje Roed-Larsen, email to Epstein dated December 25, 2015, revealed in DOJ file release, Free Press Journal (February 2026)
