Mona Juul (born 10 April 1959) is a Norwegian former diplomat and former politician for the Labour Party in Norway who is under investigation for aggravated corruption. The Epstein files revealed that she and her husband the Norwegian politician Terje Rød-Larsen had a close association with Jeffrey Epstein. In 2026 she was placed on administrative leave. Her security clearance was also revoked. Juul resigned as Norway's Ambassador to Jordan and Iraq in February 2026, following discussions with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In an official statement to the Norwegian press, Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide stated how Juul’s contact with Epstein revealed a serious lapse in judgment. He added that the situation made it difficult to restore the trust that the role required.
On February 9, 2026, Juul was charged by the National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime in Norway (Økokrim) on suspicion of aggravated corruption.
