Mandelson released after arrest over suspicion of sharing information with Epstein
“Lord Mandelson has been released on bail after he was arrested for allegedly passing secret government information to the paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. He was pictured letting himself back into his London home in the early hours of Tuesday morning. A police statement said: “A 72-year-old man arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office has been released on bail pending further investigation”. The former ambassador to the US was taken into custody by the Metropolitan Police on Monday afternoon as part of their criminal investigation into claims that he leaked market-sensitive government documents and insider information during his time as business secretary. He has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, an offence that carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. He has previously denied any wrongdoing and said that he did not act for financial gain. Sir Keir Starmer faces questions about his political judgment in appointing Mandelson as ambassador despite knowing about Mandelson’s links to Epstein. The prime minister has said that Mandelson misled him about the extent of their friendship. Mandelson was arrested only days before a by-election in Gorton & Denton, in Manchester, that is considered crucial for Labour.” – The Times
