Who is Haakon Gundersen in the Epstein files?

Haakon Gundersen is a Norwegian film producer with ties to Hungary who appears in the Epstein files through direct email correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein. The emails primarily concern a disputed Budapest apartment transaction between 2016-2018, where Epstein pressured Gundersen to transfer ownership of a property at 70 Király Street. Gundersen has denied having any business relationship with Epstein, stating that Epstein was introduced as a potential investor contact that never materialized.

What was the Budapest apartment dispute about?

In October 2016, Epstein demanded that Gundersen transfer ownership of a Budapest apartment (located at 70 Király Street and valued at approximately €240,000) to someone named 'Edward.' The transaction never completed, and by January 2018, Epstein threatened legal action, writing 'should we file papers against you?' The emails show Epstein making increasingly aggressive demands and threats over the property, including references to 'mongolians' going after Gundersen.

Did Haakon Gundersen have a business relationship with Epstein?

According to Gundersen's production company statement, there was no business relationship between Gundersen and Epstein. The company stated that Epstein was introduced as a potential contact who could secure Silicon Valley investors, but no projects materialized, no money was exchanged, and Epstein ultimately made threats demanding money that were never carried out. However, the extensive email correspondence in the Epstein files shows at least some form of ongoing communication and a property-related dispute between them.

Did Jeffrey Epstein visit Budapest?

Yes, the emails show that Epstein visited Budapest multiple times. In March 2018, he wrote to Gundersen 'im in budapest. coming to see you,' and in June 2018, he wrote 'I im in Budapest. What apt?' These messages confirm that Epstein traveled to Budapest and attempted to meet with Gundersen, likely in connection with the ongoing apartment dispute.
