Top WEF Leader Resigns Amid Epstein Scandal
Borge Brende, the head of the World Economic Forum, steps down after revelations of his connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Borge Brende, the president of the World Economic Forum (WEF), has announced his resignation following the disclosure of his ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender. Brende, a former Norwegian foreign minister, had reportedly attended private dinners with Epstein and exchanged messages with him.
The WEF, known for its annual gathering of global leaders and influential figures in Davos, Switzerland, has faced scrutiny over its association with Epstein, who was a regular attendee at the event. Brende's resignation is the latest in a series of high-profile departures linked to the Epstein scandal, which has cast a shadow over the reputation and credibility of the WEF.
