  • OLAF confirmed the inquiry on Friday, following a request from the European Commission two months prior.
  • The Commission's request was prompted by new information emerging about Mandelson's ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

  • Documents from the Epstein files indicate Mandelson appeared to confirm a €500bn Euro bailout to Epstein before its public announcement.
