WEF CEO Borge Brende Under Investigation Over Jeffrey Epstein Links

• The World Economic Forum (WEF) has launched an independent investigation into its CEO, Borge Brende, regarding his interactions with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
• The investigation follows disclosures from the U.S. Justice Department revealing Brende had three business dinners and communicated via email and text with Epstein.
• Brende, a former Norwegian foreign minister and WEF CEO since 2017, fully supports and requested the review, emphasizing transparency.
• He stated he met Epstein in 2018 and 2019 at dinners in New York, unaware of Epstein's criminal past, and regrets not investigating him thoroughly.
• Brende will continue his duties as CEO while outside counsel conducts the independent review.
