Former UK ambassador Peter Mandelson arrested in London linked to Epstein and alleged misconduct, denies any wrongdoing.
London’s Metropolitan Police have arrested Peter Mandelson, Britain’s former ambassador to the United States, as part of an investigation into his alleged connections with Jeffrey Epstein. The arrest has triggered major political shockwaves across Westminster and beyond.
Lord Mandelson was detained on suspicion of misconduct in public office, with investigators examining claims he may have leaked market-sensitive information to Epstein during his time as a government minister. Authorities also executed search warrants at properties in Wiltshire and Camden as the probe widened.
Mandelson, who was dismissed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and resigned from the House of Lords in February while retaining his title, has denied any wrongdoing as legal scrutiny intensifies.
