WEF chief Brende resigns amid Epstein-files fallout
WEF president Børge Brende announced his resignation after an independent review into his ties with Jeffrey Epstein found no new concerns beyond past dinners and messages; Brende said he was unaware of Epstein's crimes. Alois Zwinggi will serve as interim president while a permanent successor is sought. The departure follows a wave of other executives stepping down over Epstein-files revelations.
