World Economic Forum CEO under investigation for Epstein dinners
INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Børge Brende, former president and CEO of the World Economic Forum, resigned from his position on February 26, 2026, following an independent investigation into his contacts with Jeffrey Epstein.

The independent review concluded there were no additional concerns beyond what had been previously disclosed. Brende stated he was cooperating with the investigation and claimed he had only met Epstein in business settings and was unaware of Epstein's criminal background.
