US EditionFormer UK ambassador Mandelson released on bail after arrest in Epstein probe
Peter Mandelson was released on bail after a misconduct probe involving alleged leaks of sensitive government information to Jeffrey Epstein, linked to documents from the US Department of Justice.
- On Monday, Peter Mandelson was arrested at his Camden home and taken to a London police station for interview before being released on bail.
- The investigation traces back to documents from the US Department of Justice, which released more than 3 million pages of Epstein-related records last month, suggesting Mandelson sent sensitive files in 2009.
- After questioning, Mandelson was released following an 11-hour detention while the Met's specialist crime team searched two addresses in Wiltshire and Camden earlier this month.
- Downing Street faces renewed pressure as documents are due in early March, with the government saying publication will proceed, though police constraints may limit releases.
- Earlier this month, Mandelson resigned from the House of Lords, his firm Global Counsel stopped trading last week, and two of Starmer's top aides resigned, increasing pressure on the government.
