Juul’s husband, Terje Rød-Larsen, a former diplomat and former president of the International Peace Institute (IPI), faces charges of aiding and abetting.

The Epstein files, released by the Justice Department, reveal connections between the couple and Epstein, including financial arrangements.
Following a court decision, Økokrim searched an apartment in Frogner, Oslo, today, and also searched the home of a witness.

Epstein’s will, drafted shortly before his 2019 death, left $10 million to the couple’s children.
Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide described Juul’s contacts with Epstein as a “serious failure of judgment,” leading to her resignation.
Le Monde reports:
On Sunday, the foreign ministry announced that Juul had resigned from her position as ambassador to Jordan and Iraq. “Juul’s contact with the convicted abuser Epstein has shown a serious lapse in judgment,” Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said in connection to the announcement. She had already been temporarily suspended last week pending an internal investigation by the ministry into her alleged links to Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.
The Guardian reports:
Pål Lønseth, head of Økokrim, said: “We have opened an investigation to clarify whether criminal acts have occurred. We are facing a comprehensive and, by all accounts, long-term investigation.”
“Among other things, Okokrim will investigate whether [Juul] received benefits in connection to her position,” Lønseth added in a statement.
The report adds, “It appears from the files that they visited Epstein’s private island with their children in 2011, with Rød-Larsen later thanking the American for the trip and describing the island as ‘totally unique.’ ‘We all loved it!’ Rød-Larsen wrote in an email, before adding: ‘Mona sends a kiss.’”
The Epstein documents have also implicated other Norwegian figures, including Crown Princess Mette-Marit and former Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland, who is under separate investigation.
Juul and her husband are best known for their roles in the 1990s Oslo Accords.
