Former Norwegian diplomat Terje Rød Larsen resigned as president and CEO of International Peace Institute due to his "failed judgment" in taking money from Jeffrey Epstein, IPI's board of directors announced on Wednesday.
Larsen, who had a lead role in the 1990s Oslo Accords, developed a financial relationship with Epstein — the disgraced financier who killed himself in a Manhattan federal administrative detention facility in August 2019 while awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking minors — and did not disclose it to the board of directors.
