Surrey Police Seek FBI Data as New Epstein Files Renew Scrutiny of Andrew

UK authorities are assessing redacted U.S. files following renewed survivor calls for questioning.

Overview

  • Surrey Police said they found no record of newly publicised abuse claims in their systems and will request redacted FBI material referenced in the latest U.S. document release.
  • The U.S. Department of Justice published a tranche of at least 11,000 Epstein-related documents that include emails about arranging “two-legged sightseeing” for a man identified as Andrew during a 2002 Peru trip, with no allegation of illegality on that visit.
  • A formal April 2020 DOJ request shows U.S. prosecutors and the FBI sought UK help to interview Andrew about Epstein and to ask about visits to Peter Nygard’s properties, stating he was not a target and that no U.S. crime by him had been established.
  • Andrew has consistently denied wrongdoing and previously settled Virginia Giuffre’s 2022 U.S. civil claim without admitting liability, while the Metropolitan Police recently declined a criminal probe into a separate bodyguard-related allegation.
  • Epstein survivors, including Marina Lacerda, and Giuffre’s lawyer Brad Edwards urged renewed questioning and accountability, as authorities noted many claims in the files are heavily redacted or unproven and further releases are expected.
