Resolves YES if credible reporting* confirms that former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland attempted suicide.

Resolves NO if no credible evidence of an attempted suicide emerges by market close.

* Credible confirmation can include official statements from Norwegian authorities, hospital records, or consistent reporting from multiple reliable news outlets.

Jagland was hospitalized on February 17, 2026, and rumors emerged on February 24, 2026, that the hospitalization was due to a suicide attempt following developments in the investigation into his alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Reports also state that his lawyer initially confirmed the attempt off the record and later retracted it, reportedly due to privacy concerns and limited media disclosure.

On February 12, 2026, Jagland was charged by Norway's economic crimes unit (Økokrim) with aggravated corruption based on information from the Epstein files. DOJ-released documents reportedly show that Jagland and members of his family vacationed at Epstein properties between 2011 and 2018, and suggest Epstein funded travel and an apartment for Jagland.

No evidence has linked Jagland to Epstein’s sexual crimes, abuse, or trafficking.
