Head of Crown Prosecution Service for England and Wales says he is working with Thames Valley and Met forces
Prosecutors are “in close contact” with police over investigations into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson’s links with Jeffrey Epstein, England and Wales’s most senior criminal prosecutor has said.
Thames Valley police has said it is reviewing allegations that the child sex offender Epstein provided Mountbatten-Windsor with a woman to have sex with at Royal Lodge in 2010, as well as that the former prince shared confidential reports from his role as a government trade envoy with the disgraced financier.
The Met police has launched an investigation into allegations Mandelson leaked Downing Street emails and market-sensitive information to Epstein.
At a press briefing on Wednesday, the director of public prosecutions (DPP) for England and Wales, Stephen Parkinson, said: “We are in close contact with both the Met and Thames Valley police, but we haven’t been asked for formal advice yet.
