Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland has been hospitalized, according to reports from February 24, 2026. Jagland, who is reportedly under investigation for economic crimes connected to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was admitted to a hospital due to stress related to revelations about his contacts with Epstein. The information was confirmed by Jagland's lawyer, Anders Brosveet, to the Norwegian newspaper VG.
According to Brosveet, Jagland is receiving hospital care as a result of the strain he is experiencing due to the disclosures about his connections with Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The investigation into Jagland's alleged economic crimes linked to Epstein appears to be ongoing, though specific details about the nature of the alleged crimes were not provided in the available reports.
