The Norwegian police have launched a corruption investigation into former Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland due to his alleged links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Jagland, 75, is suspected of 'aggravated corruption' and has been asked to lift his immunity by the country's foreign ministry. Jagland's lawyer has promised full cooperation with the investigation. The investigation will examine whether Jagland received gifts, travel, and loans in connection with his positions as chair of the Nobel Committee and Secretary General of the Council of Europe.

The UK police have launched an investigation into former British Ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson after emails released by the US Department of Justice suggested he may have shared confidential UK government documents with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The emails, released last week, appear to show Mandelson sharing sensitive information with Epstein while serving as UK Business Secretary in 2009 and 2010. Mandelson has denied any wrongdoing and claims he had no knowledge of Epstein's sexual crimes. The investigation has put pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who appointed Mandelson as Britain's top diplomat in the US last year. Starmer's office has conducted a review of the documents and concluded that 'safeguards were compromised' in relation to sensitive information being shared improperly.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has announced an investigation into possible links between convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Polish citizens, amid concerns that Epstein's network may have trafficked Polish women or girls. The investigation will examine whether Polish children were abused via criminal networks connected to Epstein and will be led by Poland's justice minister and prosecutor general. Tusk stated that the Polish government cannot allow cases involving the abuse of Polish children by Epstein's network to be treated lightly or ignored. The investigation will also look into potential links between Epstein and Russian intelligence services, as some media reports and analysts have suggested that Epstein's activities may have been exploited by Russian security services to gather compromising material on influential figures.

The UK government has agreed to release documents related to the appointment of Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US despite his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The decision comes after Conservative Party pressure and criticism from lawmakers, including Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch. Prime Minister Keir Starmer was grilled on the revelations and admitted that Mandelson had 'misrepresented the extent' of his relationship with Epstein and 'lied throughout the process'. The release of the documents is expected to shed more light on Mandelson's ties to Epstein and the government's handling of the situation.
