"Thames Valley Police said that officers had detained a man in his sixties from Norfolk who has been arrested and remains in police custody. The force added that it had opened an inquiry into a suspected offence of misconduct in public office, after confirming last week it was assessing evidence to determine whether a full investigation was warranted. The arrest comes weeks after the Department of Justice released millions of documents relating to the disgraced financier, thrusting Mountbatten-Windsor's past associations back into the spotlight."
"The files included records showing that he advocated for Epstein during a 2010 state visit to the United Arab Emirates with the Queen. They also contained an image of Mountbatten-Windsor on all-fours above a young woman. Emails also published by the Justice Department also appeared to show Mountbatten-Windsor forwarded sensitive UK trade visit reports to Epstein when holding a senior government-linked role and years after the disgraced financier's sex offense conviction."
"At the time, the Mountbatten-Windsor was serving as the UK's special representative for trade and investment, a role he held from 2001 until July 2011. The post involved promoting British commercial interests overseas, meeting foreign officials and business leaders, and acting as a roving ambassador for UK trade. Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his royal title by his brother King Charles last year, has consistently denied any financial or sexual wrongdoing arising from his links with Epstein and his circle."
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested at his Sandringham home on his 66th birthday after Thames Valley Police opened an inquiry into suspected misconduct in public office. Officers detained a man in his sixties from Norfolk who remains in custody while police assess the case. The inquiry followed the Department of Justice release of millions of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein that included records showing Mountbatten-Windsor advocated for Epstein during a 2010 state visit, an image depicting him above a young woman, and emails suggesting he forwarded sensitive UK trade visit reports to Epstein while serving as the UK's special representative for trade and investment.
