Shortly after Jeffrey Epstein's death in 2019, journalists Tore Gjerstad and Gard Oterholm began a reporting project that would span years – long before millions of documents from the Epstein investigation were made public.
Working for the Norwegian newspaper Dagens Næringsliv, they followed money trails, documents and personal relationships linking Epstein to some of Norway's most powerful figures, including Crown Princess Mette-Marit and former Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland.
In this session, Gjerstad and Oterholm share the methods behind one of Norway's most significant recent investigative projects. How do you document relationships powerful people would rather keep hidden? How do you work across borders, institutions and fragmented sources? And how do you navigate pressure, resistance and security concerns along the way?
With a new book on Epstein's Norwegian network set for publication later this year, the story may not be over yet.
