US EditionFormer UK ambassador Mandelson released on bail after arrest in Epstein probe
Peter Mandelson, 72, released on bail after arrest for alleged misconduct in public office related to sharing sensitive documents with Jeffrey Epstein, police said.
- 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.
