Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland has been hospitalized, with a report claiming that it was due to a suicide attempt. This development comes shortly after he was charged with gross corruption related to his connections with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Jagland, who also served as chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee and Secretary General of the Council of Europe, is currently in critical condition at an undisclosed facility. The incident allegedly occurred last week, with details only emerging today.

Norwegian police charged Jagland on February 12 with aggravated corruption, an offense that carries a potential sentence of up to 10 years. The investigation stems from documents released by the U.S. Justice Department under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which revealed extensive contacts between Jagland and Epstein from 2011 to 2018.

These files indicate that Jagland and his family stayed at Epstein’s properties in Paris, New York, and Palm Beach, with Epstein covering travel expenses for up to six adults. A planned visit to Epstein’s private island, Little St. James, was canceled due to Epstein’s health issues. Emails also show Jagland expressing interest in the trip and discussing “extraordinary young girls” in Albania with Epstein.

In exchange, Epstein sought introductions from Jagland to figures such as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, as well as promotion of his financial initiatives. Police raids on Jagland’s Oslo apartment and Risør residence took place on February 12, with a significant media presence at the Oslo site.

Jagland has previously denied any criminal involvement, describing his association with Epstein as “unwise” and stating he is cooperating with authorities. There is, at this time, no evidence linking him to Epstein’s sexual offenses.
