Norwegian Ambassador Resigns Amid Epstein Scandal and Financial Scrutiny
Norway’s Ambassador to Jordan, Mona Juul, has resigned amidst scrutiny over her contacts with Jeffrey Epstein, a decision deemed “correct and necessary” by the Foreign Ministry. This resignation follows reports that Epstein left Juul’s children $10 million in his will and revelations of a “serious lapse in judgment” regarding her association with the convicted sex offender. The Foreign Ministry’s investigation into Juul’s knowledge of and contact with Epstein will continue, alongside a review of funding for an institute previously led by her husband, who also demonstrated poor judgment concerning Epstein. This situation has also led to scrutiny and apologies from other prominent Norwegian figures linked to Epstein.
