Norwegian Foreign Ministry to Publish Oslo-Process Files Discovered in Rød-Larsen's Basement

During a February raid, Økokrim confiscated one box of papers from the shared Oslo residence of Mona Juul and Terje Rød-Larsen, while the Foreign Ministry obtained the remaining material. The ministry confirmed that the files, which relate to the historic Oslo-process, are stored at the National Archives and are under review for eventual public access. Press spokesperson Siri R. Svendsen said the goal is to make the documents available as quickly as possible for researchers and journalists.

Defense attorney John Christian Elden noted the ministry is working with the couple’s legal team on the disclosure. The topic is likely to be raised at the parliamentary Epstein hearing, where former and current foreign ministers have been summoned. Historian Hilde Henriksen Waage, who has long called for the missing nine-month record, has been assured by Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide that she will receive access.
