DN: Anette Ringnes står frem som Epstein-varsler
Datter av den kjente eiendomsinvestoren Christian Ringnes forteller om tiden i omstridt tenketank.
Anette Ringnes has emerged as the whistleblower connected to Jeffrey Epstein's network, according to a book titled "Epstein's Norwegian Networks – and the Lies that Concealed It". The book was written by two journalists from a prominent newspaper. Ringnes was employed by the International Peace Institute (IPI) in New York for several years.
During her tenure, she was asked by Terje Rød-Larsen, the institute's head, to search for any connections between IPI's new office in Bahrain and Epstein. However, Ringnes herself was unaware of the relationship between Rød-Larsen and Epstein. She reported back to Rød-Larsen that no links were found between Epstein and the Bahrain office, and only addressed the specific question she was asked.
Later, Ringnes relayed information to a known figure in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about several young women from Eastern Europe who had visited IPI for a short period, in what appeared to be a visa support scheme possibly in violation of American regulations. This information was subsequently forwarded to the Attorney General, the EU's office for fighting financial crime, and the FBI. The story has previously been known, but Ringnes has not been identified as the whistleblower.
