Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjorn Jagland was reportedly hospitalized last week following a suicide attempt, days after he was charged with gross corruption linked to his relationship with late convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a media report Tuesday.
The news was first broken by iNyheter which cited a “rock-solid source” confirming that Jagland’s condition remains serious.
The specific medical facility treating the 75-year-old statesman has not been disclosed.
The former Nobel Peace Prize Chairman is in critical condition after facing “gross corruption” charges linked to the Epstein case, according to iNyheter.
Jagland is one of Norway’s most prominent political figures, having served as prime minister and as Secretary General of the Council of Europe.
