Met commissioner ‘pressing for unredacted Epstein files’ amid Mandelson probe

  • Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley is pressing US authorities to share unredacted Epstein files concerning Lord Peter Mandelson.
  • Police are investigating Lord Mandelson on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly leaking market-sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein.
  • Lord Mandelson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor were arrested and bailed last month after the US Department of Justice released Epstein files, some of which were redacted.
  • There are concerns that a formal legal request for the unredacted documents could take up to a year and might not guarantee access.
  • Sir Keir Starmer has faced criticism for Lord Mandelson’s appointment to the key diplomatic role despite his continued friendship with Epstein after his 2008 conviction.
