"Files released by the US department of Justice appear to show the former prince forwarded UK government documents and other commercial information to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Speaking about reports of Andrew leaking sensitive information about the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Aston Martin while trade envoy, Sir Vince Cable, said his behaviour was "totally unacceptable". Andrew has always consistently and strenuously denied any wrongdoing."
"In his role as a UK trade envoy - which ran from 2001 to 2011 - the then-Duke of York travelled globally and enjoyed privileged access to senior government and business contacts around the world. In 2010, he apparently passed on an email conversation about Aston Martin and the Royal Bank of Scotland to a contact, David Stern, who passed it on to disgraced financier Epstein."

In 2010 he passed an email about Aston Martin and the Royal Bank of Scotland to David Stern, who then passed it to Epstein; the exchange included RBS restructuring details and critical comments about CEO Stephen Hester and described "conflicts between internal parties" at Aston Martin. Sir Vince Cable called for a police or DPP review and a government investigation into possible corruption.
