Chairman of Nobel Committe named 'Confidential Contact' by KGB
2009-10-10

Then, last month, a former Soviet K.G.B. agent said in a book that Mr. Jagland, as a budding politician in the 1970's and 1980's, had been classified by the K.G.B. as a "confidential contact" because of his willingness to discuss political affairs with Soviet agents posing as diplomats. Mr. Jagland insisted that the conversations were innocent exchanges.
As for the picture (which I suggest be included in the Rantburg Library): The gentleman with his hands on the lady's breats is Mr. Jagland. The lady is Synnøve Svabø a talk show host. The gentleman with the dark glasses is probably not a KGB officer, but who knows.

The incident according to Wikipedia:

In 1998, Jagland was confronted with another incident, after placing his hands on Synnøve Svabø's breasts on national television. Svabø was at that time talk show host for Weekend Globoid. Two years later, she was prosecuted for adultery against Jagland by the Labour-politician Gaute Hareide from Ulsteinvik. Svabø replied to here prosecution "Am I accused for the Jagland-grip? I had considered an accusation, but not three years afterwards. And not against me ... I was innocent". The police dropped the case shortly afterwards. It was seen by many at that time that Svabø "lured" Jagland.
