A derogatory remark allegedly made by Norwegian diplomat Terje Rød-Larsen about Indians has surfaced in the newly released Epstein files. The email posted on X by Russian state broadcaster RT highlighted the document.

According to the RT post, the email said: “Have You Heard The Saying, When You Meet An Indian & A Snake, K*ll The Indian First!"

The remark appears in an email contained in the files released by the US Department of Justice (DOJ), which recently made public around three million pages related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

According to the document, the email is apparently from Rød-Larsen and includes an offensive comment about Indians, made in response to a message forwarded to him by Epstein from an Indian politician.

The document claims that Rød-Larsen wrote, “Have you heard the saying: when you meet an Indian and a snake, kill the Indian first!" in an email dated December 25, 2015, sent to Jeffrey Epstein.

Terje Rød-Larsen previously served as president of the Peace Institute and was also a former United Nations envoy. He resigned from the institute in 2020 after his name emerged in connection with Jeffrey Epstein.
