Prince Andrew, Mandelson Investigated for Epstein Misconduct

On April 1st, police are digging deeper into allegations against Prince Andrew and Lord

Mandelson for misconduct in public office tie to Jeffrey, Epstein.

Thames Valley cops arrested the 66-year-old Prince on February 19, his birthday,

over claims he shared sensitive trade info with the Fountain.

Late financier back in 2010 and 2011, meanwhile, Scotland Yard nabbed the 72-year-old Lord

last month on similar charges from his business secretary days. Crown prosecutors stepped

in early, holding advice meetings with both forces last month.

The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed their guiding Thames Valley on the Prince's case

in the Met on Mandelson's, but stressed this is just. Investigative help, not a charged decision yet.

It's standard for big cases like these. Both men were released under investigation

and flat out deny any wrongdoing, saying they had zero clue about Epstein's crimes.

Police sources note being named in files doesn't mean guilt, and the men are cooperating

while keeping their heads down. Andrew even spotted driving.

Around Sandra Hamm, looking stone-faced. Investigators might widen the net on Andrew

beyond misconduct, eyeing potential corruption, or even sex trafficking angles, which are tougher

to prove. The Home Office is pitching in with mutual legal assistance across borders to keep things

moving. These high-profile probes now head to the CPS Special Crime Division for the trickiest

cases with top brass like Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley, pushing US authorities for more

unredacted files. We'll see where the evidence lands next.
