Terje Rød-Larsen (born November 22, 1947), whose name appears in Jeffrey Epstein’s records as Terje Rod-Larsen and Terje Roed-Larsen, is a Norwegian diplomat who was a principal architect of the 1993 Oslo Accords, served twice as a United Nations Under-Secretary-General, and was president of the International Peace Institute in New York from 2005 until October 2020.1 Epstein’s will of June 29, 2017 named him as one of three co-Executors of the estate, alongside Darren K. Indyke and Richard D. Kahn; that will was superseded, and the will admitted to probate after Epstein’s death named only Indyke and Kahn.3567 Epstein’s records document a personal loan of $130,000 to Rød-Larsen in 2013, a further $250,000 paid to him by Epstein’s Southern Trust Company in 2015, and payments from Epstein’s foundations to the International Peace Institute.8910 PassBlue reported that he resigned from the institute on October 29, 2020, after the loan and the donations were reported in Norway, and that he had apologised to its board for “failed judgment.”2 News in English (Norway) reported that on February 8, 2026 Norway’s economic crime authority, Økokrim, charged him as an accessory to serious corruption in a case centred on his wife, the diplomat Mona Juul, and that his lawyer said he was “surprised” by the charge and “certain the case will be dropped.”4

Career

Rød-Larsen directed the Norwegian research foundation Fafo and, with Juul, ran the secret back channel between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization that produced the Oslo Accords of September 13, 1993.1 He was UN Special Coordinator in the Occupied Territories from 1994 to 1996 and UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and Personal Representative of the Secretary-General to the PLO and the Palestinian Authority from 1999 to 2005, at the rank of Under-Secretary-General.1 He became president of the International Peace Institute, a New York organisation with offices at 777 United Nations Plaza and in Vienna, in 2005.111 A promotional release circulated from Epstein’s own website describes him as “an established Mideast diplomat and a United Nations under-secretary general” and as “the Institute’s President.”12 His institutional addresses in Epstein’s correspondence are [email protected] and, for his office, [email protected].1314

In November 2010 Rød-Larsen opened and closed the Sir Bani Yas Forum at Qasr Al Sarab, Abu Dhabi, jointly with the United Arab Emirates’ foreign minister: the agenda gives the “Opening Remarks by Hosts” on the Saturday and the “Wrap-Up by Hosts” on the Monday to “HH Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates” and “Terje Rød-Larsen, President, International Peace Institute.”15 Jeffrey Epstein’s invitation to the forum was relayed on Rød-Larsen’s behalf: on October 25, 2010 Fabrice Aidan, whose signature block gives his title as “Special Assistant to the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General,” wrote that Rød-Larsen had cleared Epstein’s invitation to the forum; a further message two days later reports that Rød-Larsen “has invited Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, Chairman of Financial Trust Company, Inc to participate a business participant” and asks that he “be added to the list of participants.”16

Epstein’s estate instruments

Epstein executed a will on June 29, 2017 that provided: “I appoint DARREN K. INDYKE, RICHARD D. KAHN and TERJE ROD-LARSEN to serve as the Executors of this Will.”3 It named Eva Andersson Dubin, then Kathryn Ruemmler, then Stephen Hanson as successor Executors, and directed the Executor “to pay from my estate, as compensation to each Executor for serving as Executor hereunder, the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) to each Executor upon the completion of probate of my estate.”3 The residue was left to the trustees of a 2017 trust.3 The copy of that will in the released files is struck through by hand across its first page and marked, in the same hand, “REVOKED.”3

Later wills dropped him. A will executed May 8, 2018 and another executed January 18, 2019 each appoint only Indyke and Kahn, with Ruemmler as successor.56 The will executed August 8, 2019, two days before Epstein’s death, likewise appoints only Indyke and Kahn, with Boris Nikolic as successor, and is the will Indyke and Kahn filed for probate in the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands.7

The 1953 Trust, the instrument dated August 8, 2019 that received the estate, carries a schedule of individual bequests that includes $5,000,000 each to two members of Rød-Larsen’s family.17 Anadolu Agency reported on February 13, 2026 that Epstein’s will “reportedly left $5 million to each of Rod-Larsen’s two children, totaling $10 million,” and News in English (Norway) reported on February 8, 2026 that “both of their now-adult offspring were written into Epstein’s will.”184

Money

The $130,000 note, 2013–2014

On June 27, 2013 Epstein instructed Richard Kahn to wire Rød-Larsen $130,000, giving an account number and adding, “it will be a 6 month loan.”8 Kahn asked Rød-Larsen for the routing number, the name on the account and the “ability to sign promissory note for this 6 month loan.”8 The next day Kahn told Epstein, “i still have not received terje bank routing number to complete wire.”8 On July 18, 2013 Epstein wrote to Rød-Larsen: “loan doc were never recieved.”19

The note matured on December 31, 2013. On January 14, 2014 Kahn circulated “wiring instructions for the payoff of attached 130,000 promissory note that matured on December 31, 2013,” directing repayment to an account in Epstein’s own name.20 Through late January and early February an aide to Rød-Larsen worked with Kahn on the transfer details; on February 6 the aide wrote, “Noted. It is done. Will scan and send receipt in course of the day.”20 On February 3, under the subject line “Promissory note,” Rød-Larsen wrote to Kahn that “The banks need more details,” and Kahn passed the request to a Deutsche Bank contact as “an international bank wanting to send money to jee personal account to pay off a loan.”2122 On February 10 Kahn wrote, “my bank has not received these funds,” and on February 11, “i still have not received funds”; the aide replied, “I would give it two more working days. I sent you a copy of the transfer.”20 The correspondence stops before recording the wire clearing.20 PassBlue quoted a letter from Rød-Larsen to the institute’s board dated October 21, 2020: “This loan had no connection to the activities or finances of IPI, and it was repaid in full as promised within the allotted time from my own personal accounts.”2

The $250,000 payment, 2015

On December 19, 2015 Rød-Larsen forwarded Epstein an aide’s message headed “Account details for transfer,” and Epstein forwarded it on to Kahn with the single line “250k.”23 Kahn asked, “Are we sending terje money or is he sending to us? If we are sending jee personal Stc ft real estate?”, naming three candidate payers, and Epstein answered, “stc to him.”24 The payer was Epstein’s Southern Trust Company. On January 25, 2016 Kahn asked Rød-Larsen to fill out a Form W-9, writing that the tax information was needed “to prepare a 1099 for 250,000 you received from Southern Trust”; the date of receipt is corrupted on the face of the produced document.9 Three days later Kahn told Epstein he had “sent Terje two emails this week requesting that he fill out form W-9 so that we can issue him a 1099 from STC.”9 What the payment was for is not stated in the correspondence.9

Epstein money to the International Peace Institute

A promotional release circulated from Epstein’s website claims a decade of support for international peace accords by the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation and says the foundation endowed a fellowship fund at the International Peace Institute in memory of a United Nations diplomat killed in the 2003 bombing of the UN headquarters in Baghdad.12 On December 23, 2014 Epstein asked his staff “please give me the final of how much money was sent to each of my cahrities”; the tally that came back listed “INTERNATIONAL PEACE INITIATIVE 250,000” among cheques being written that day, Kahn objected that “instructions were for 200,000,” and the finance officer replied, “My typo — instructions are for $200K to Terje Rod-Larsen.”25 Four days earlier, on December 19, 2014, Leon Black had written to “Terje Rod-Larsen, President, International Peace Institute, Inc.” that he had “wire transferred a charitable gift in the amount $200,000 … representing an unrestricted gift for the use and benefit of IPI.”11 Nothing in either document links the two payments to each other.2511

In 2017 the money came through Gratitude America, Ltd, another Epstein foundation. On November 1, 2017 Epstein instructed, “send IPI 100 k . to tede attention,” and Kahn replied that the two previous cheques had also been drawn on Gratitude America ($150,000 and $125,000, which Kahn dated to May 7 and June 12, 2017; the first cheque itself is dated May 8, as is Epstein’s instruction for it, so Kahn’s date is a recollection seven months later) and asked Epstein to confirm that the new $100,000 would be as well.26 Gratitude America cheque number 315, dated November 1, 2017, pays $100,000 to “International Peace Institute, Inc” and is addressed “Attn: Terje Rod Larsen.”10 PassBlue reported in October 2020 that Epstein’s foundations gave the institute $650,000 between 2011 and 2019.2

Payments also ran from the institute towards Epstein. In March 2014 an Epstein aide sought approval to “reimburse International Peace Institute for Lawrence Summers flight,” a ticket costing $14,158.88, from Epstein’s Enhanced Education.27 PassBlue reported in October 2020 that Rød-Larsen directed the institute to transfer $100,000 to Epstein in 2015 in connection with the Mongolia project.2

Institute business shown to Epstein

The institute’s monthly “Regional Insights” bulletins, sent to Epstein from Rød-Larsen’s office, state that they are “provided exclusively to major donors and members.”28 His office also sent Epstein daily press summaries and Middle East updates through 2011–2014 and, in June 2012, a link to an institute presentation on “Global Trends and Crises.”142930

On January 23, 2014 a member of Rød-Larsen’s staff sent Epstein a draft invitation to the Mongolian Presidential Advisory Board, writing: “Terje asked me to send you the below message — for your comments — before we send it to Larry Summers (we will also send similar messages to the other board members).”31 The draft told the recipient that “The members’ working arrangements will be with IPI, pending the formal signing of IPI’s contract with the government of Mongolia in March” and that “the Board Member’s honorarium will be $100,000 per annum.”31 The institute’s accountant later sought Summers’s Form W-9 for “his honorarium for the Mongolian Advisory Board,” wired on February 28, 2014.32 In March 2016 Rød-Larsen forwarded into his message thread with Epstein a note to a Mongolian counterpart reporting that Summers “will have to take a fee of 400.000$ for the job.”33

On August 3, 2012 Rød-Larsen forwarded Epstein a “Nexus Center” concept paper prepared by two institute colleagues; Epstein replied, “well done , but you must treat this as highly higly confidential.. too early will ruin it.”34 On June 8, 2014 he forwarded Epstein a message from the institute’s Vienna director carrying a document titled “Agreement IPI+KZ for economic advice.”35 In November 2018 he forwarded Epstein correspondence about offering an unnamed departing politician a fellowship at the institute.36

Introductions and meetings

Vienna property, April 2011. On April 13, 2011 a Viennese estate agency wrote to Epstein four times, each letter opening “Referring to our appointment today with Mr. Rod Larsen.”37 Three were offers (a town house at €16,000,000, Palais Erdödy-Fürstenberg at €35,000,000 and Palais Batthyány at €28,000,000) and the fourth offered to advise Epstein on the tender for Palais Sturany for a fee of “1,5% of the final purchase price plus 20% MwSt.tax VAT.”37383940

Villa Barbarigo, January 2011. Rød-Larsen forwarded Epstein a broker’s confidential accounting and property dossier on Villa Barbarigo at Valsanzibio near Venice, which set out what would be needed to run the estate “as a super luxury hotel resort.”41

Davos, January 2014. Epstein wrote to Rød-Larsen and Lawrence Summers on January 9, 2014 that “the meeting with the mongolian president is the 25th at 530 pm davos.”42 The meeting moved; when Summers wrote on January 21 that he was “worried about this. Is there location transport ctc?”, Epstein replied, “Ill terje larsen s team involved directly.”43 Epstein’s daily schedule for January 24, circulated by his assistant, carries the reminder “5:30pm TERJE to meet the President of Mongolia per Larry Summers,” alongside a midday phone appointment with Rød-Larsen.44

Bill Gates. On July 14, 2013 Epstein wrote to Boris Nikolic: “While they are in Norway, Bill and Melinda might enjoy meeting Terje and his wife, ( also a diplomat, she was nominated to be Ambassador to the US ) … I can arrange it if Bill wants.”45 On September 27, 2012 Epstein’s assistant scheduled for that evening a “Gates crew coming over, 5 people total (Gates, Boris, Terje, Jagbland).”46

New York schedules. A schedule circulated on September 19, 2014 lists under Sunday, September 21 a reminder naming “Terje” among five people and an “8:00pm Appt w/Terje Larsen,” and names “Terje” again in the following day’s list of people to see.47 On April 28, 2014 Epstein wrote to his assistant proposing “a dinner, with terje” and several other guests.48

A claimed fee, January 2014. In a January 31, 2014 email to a business contact, Epstein wrote that the recipient had “agreed and shook hands with both terje and i a fee of 21 million dollars and argued for Tetje to receive a million of it”; this is Epstein’s own account, and no agreement corroborating it is cited in the correspondence.49

Steve Bannon, 2018–2019. On March 14, 2018 Epstein sent Steve Bannon a biographical summary of Rød-Larsen’s career (the Oslo Accords, the two Under-Secretary-General appointments) and wrote: “he will join us at 12. noon. you can send your friend , terje is the diplomats diplomat. very close to me and will help.”50 On February 16, 2019, asked by Bannon whether the name was spelled “Rod or Roed?”, Epstein replied “Terje Rod-Larsen its a norwegian o pronounced roed,” sent a link to the Wikipedia article, and added that “his wife is norwegian ambassador to the UN.”51

Hospitality

Rød-Larsen visited an island of Epstein’s in March 2011. On March 27 he wrote to Epstein: “Thanks, Jeff, for a great day on a wonderful and totally unique place! … My mind is working on further ideas for creative development. Hope to be back soon!” Epstein replied, “your friendship is greatly appreciated,” and Rød-Larsen answered, “It’s mutual.”13 Euronews reported in April 2026 that a 2011 trip to Epstein’s island is among the matters Norwegian investigators are examining.52

Epstein’s Paris apartment was made available to him repeatedly. On October 29, 2011 Epstein told his staff, “terje would like to stay at the paris apt. on the 2. nov, for one night. its ok”; on June 9, 2012 he wrote, “can you coordinate so that terje can stay in the paris apt.. sunday night, one night only”; and on July 3, 2012 his assistant told the building’s manager that “Jeffrey has informed us Terje will stay at his Paris apt on Friday July 6th.”535455

Resignation and investigation

PassBlue reported that Rød-Larsen resigned as president and chief executive of the International Peace Institute on October 29, 2020, days after the Norwegian newspaper Dagens Næringsliv reported his financial dealings with Epstein.2 It reported that he had apologised to the board “for his failed judgment in securing donations from foundations related to Jeffrey Epstein and in securing his own personal loan from Epstein in 2013,” neither of which the board had known about, and that the board called any engagement with Epstein “repugnant to the institution’s core values.”2 The Times of Israel reported on October 30, 2020 that Kevin Rudd chaired the board at the time.56

News in English (Norway) reported that on February 8, 2026 Økokrim, Norway’s economic crime authority, charged Mona Juul with serious corruption and Rød-Larsen as an accessory to serious corruption, and that Rød-Larsen’s lawyer, John Christian Elden, said his client was “surprised” by the charge and was “certain the case will be dropped.”4 The same outlet reported that Juul’s lawyer said she viewed a thorough investigation as positive and expected to be cleared, and that Rød-Larsen was questioned by police in Oslo in February 2026.457 Euronews reported that on April 27, 2026 Økokrim and French authorities formed a joint investigation team covering the case, and that the couple deny having committed any offence.52
