Overview
- Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley is seeking unredacted, original Epstein-era documents from the US Department of Justice, saying they are necessary if cases reach court.
- The Met is investigating Lord Peter Mandelson over an email to Jeffrey Epstein about a €500 billion eurozone bailout that Rowley called a potential criminal offence; Mandelson denies wrongdoing.
- Thames Valley Police are widening the investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor beyond misconduct in public office to consider possible corruption offences, reflecting the high legal bar for the original charge; he denies wrongdoing.
- UK forces are reviewing a wide range of sexual allegations linked to Epstein, with a scoping assessment under way, while Rowley said four recorded interviews with Virginia Giuffre previously did not produce evidence for a UK sexual‑offences case.
- No charges have been authorised; police await CPS advice and further US cooperation after February arrests and searches connected to the inquiries.
