Crown Prosecution Service confirms support on inquiries after arrests on suspicion of misconduct in public office
Police are receiving advice from prosecutors as part of their inquiries into Peter Mandelson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s links to Jeffrey Epstein.
The former duke of York and the former UK ambassador to the US were both arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office over their connections with the late financier. They have since been released under investigation.
A Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson said on Wednesday: “We can confirm that we are now providing early investigative advice to the Metropolitan police service regarding the force’s investigation into a 72-year-old man and will continue to liaise as requested.
“We can now also confirm that we are providing early investigative advice to Thames Valley police in relation to a 66-year-old man. We remain ready to support any investigation if needed.”
