The British police have initiated a criminal investigation into Peter Mandelson, a former politician, for alleged misconduct connected to his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The investigation follows the release of Epstein-related files by the US Justice Department, which suggest potential illegal exchanges of market-sensitive information between Mandelson and Epstein.
Mandelson, a former Cabinet minister, resigned from the House of Lords amid mounting pressure and the emergence of distressing revelations within the Epstein files. These documents reportedly include emails where Mandelson shared critical political insights with Epstein, raising doubts about past practices and Mandelson's adherence to confidentiality.
The UK government continues to review the contents of these files, which appear to contain sensitive information pertaining to the 2008 financial crisis, and may pursue legislation to strip Mandelson of his noble title—a move unheard of in over a century.
