"It's my job to enforce the law and I do so without fear or favour, and that is unaffected by the status of the individual concerned. Parkinson said he had total confidence that detectives would examine any relevant evidence that might point to criminality. From my perspective, I don't find it a difficult offence to prosecute because the core of it is a gross breach of trust by someone performing the function of a public officer, he said."
"Mountbatten-Windsor's conduct while UK trade envoy between 2001 and 2011 has come under scrutiny after emails released in the Epstein files suggested he shared confidential information with the convicted sex offender. Emails have shown how David Stern, a business associate and friend of Mountbatten-Windsor, was in regular contact with Epstein and accompanied the former prince on his publicly funded visits to Beijing, Hong Kong and Shenzhen in the autumn of 2010."
The director of public prosecutions said nobody is above the law and expressed confidence detectives would examine any relevant evidence. Thames Valley police are in discussion with the Crown Prosecution Service over allegations that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor committed misconduct in public office. Mountbatten-Windsor served as a UK trade envoy between 2001 and 2011, during which emails in the Epstein files suggest he shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein. Emails show business associate David Stern was in regular contact with Epstein and accompanied Mountbatten-Windsor on taxpayer-funded visits to Beijing, Hong Kong and Shenzhen in autumn 2010. Evidence also suggests Stern organised meetings based on Epstein's suggestions and that Mountbatten-Windsor leaked sensitive information about the Royal Bank of Scotland and a diplomatic cable on UK-China trade relations.
