Terje Rød-Larsen

node
A peace group's leader took a personal loan from a man later charged with sex trafficking, and the group still put him on stage with a foreign minister.
Who they are

Terje Rød-Larsen, a Norwegian ex-diplomat and former president of the International Peace Institute (IPI)[1].

What they do

The record shows a personal loan and directed payments from Jeffrey Epstein to Rød-Larsen, alongside emails about a woman's career at IPI.

How it works

Emails released in the Epstein files appear to show Rød-Larsen had dinner with Epstein in Paris in June 2019, weeks before Epstein's arrest on sex trafficking charges. Other emails show Epstein asking people connected to IPI about a woman's career. The same record shows IPI events opened with remarks from both a UAE foreign minister and Rød-Larsen as IPI president. The record does not establish that the payments bought IPI policy or that Rød-Larsen was an intelligence asset.

Why it matters

It shows how a private donor's money and messages can sit alongside a public peace group's work, without proving the money changed its decisions.

The engine's record — word for word
