| WEF Rocked As CEO Faces Investigation Over Ties To 'Davos Concierge' Epstein |
| 2026-02-18 |
| [ZERO] The World Economic Forum (WEF) quietly launched an independent review earlier this month into its CEO, Børge Brende, over his past interactions with Jeffrey Epstein, Bloomberg reports. Files released by the Department of Justice show Epstein and Brende had three dinners in 2018 and 2019, and exchanged various text messages. One dinner occurred in September 2018, more than a decade after Epstein's 2008 conviction and guilty plea in Florida for procuring a child for prostitution, and another on June 13, 2019, shortly before Epstein's final arrest on federal sex-trafficking charges. Like many powerful figures, Brende has claimed that he was unaware of Epstein's criminal history at the time of their meetings, and is said to have ordered the probe into his communications with Epstein. "I was completely unaware of Epstein’s past and criminal activities," Brende said in a statement to Bloomberg. "Had I known about his background, I would have declined the initial invitation and any subsequent dinner invitations or other communications." "I recognize that I could have conducted a more thorough investigation into Epstein’s history, and I regret not doing so," he added. Klaus Schwab, who founded the WEF in 1971, has maintained that he is "certain" that he never met with Epstein, a press representative told Bloomberg. |
