Overview
- Thames Valley Police detained a man in his 60s from Norfolk and carried out searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk as part of the investigation.
- U.S. Justice Department emails show he forwarded a “confidential” Helmand Province investment brief to Epstein on Dec. 24, 2010, and sent official trip reports from China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam.
- Correspondence indicates he discussed introducing Epstein to senior UAE figures, including a meeting broached with Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed and a possible introduction to the crown prince.
- Emails from liaison David Stern proposed a private investment office using the former prince’s “aura and access,” and Stern also shared information about Aston Martin and Royal Bank of Scotland; Cambridge Judge Business School said Stern resigned from its board.
- Police say the suspected misconduct is separate from Epstein sex‑trafficking allegations, and Andrew denies wrongdoing with no sex‑crime charges reported.
