Affaire Epstein: démission d'une diplomate norvégienne de renom
Norwegian ambassador to Jordan Mona Juul, who had played an important role in trying to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, has resigned, the Norwegian Foreign Ministry announced Sunday, after the launch of an investigation into alleged links between this renowned diplomat and American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
"This is a correct and necessary decision... Juul's contacts with convicted sex offender Epstein showed a serious error in judgment," said Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide, stressing that the decision was taken after discussions with the Foreign Office.
Ms. Juul, who played a significant role in the secret Israeli-Palestinian negotiations that led to the Oslo Accords in the early 1990s, is among the Norwegian figures whose names appear in new Epstein case documents released by the US Department of Justice.
She was temporarily relieved of her duties on Monday while an investigation is conducted into her alleged links with Epstein.
According to Norwegian media, Epstein, who committed suicide in prison in 2019, bequeathed $10 million to the two children of Ms. Juul and her husband, diplomat Terje Rod-Larsen, who had also participated in the Oslo Accords negotiations.
According to Mr. Eide, the ministry will continue to have discussions with Ms. Juul as part of an ongoing investigation to determine the extent of their transactions.
