US EditionMet Police rule out investigation into claims Andrew ordered smear campaign on Virginia Giuffre
The Met Police found no new evidence after several reviews and legal consultations, concluding the matter mainly involves overseas allegations with no UK criminal conduct identified.
- Central Specialist Crime Commander Ella Marriott said the Metropolitan Police Service will not open a criminal investigation after assessing claims that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor asked his taxpayer-funded close protection officer to investigate Virginia Giuffre in 2011.
- In October, The Mail On Sunday reported Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor passed Ms Giuffre's date of birth and social security number to a bodyguard in 2011; the MPS first received trafficking allegations in 2015 involving Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
- Officers assessed all available evidence and interviewed the complainant, Ms Virginia Giuffre, while the November 2016 decision not to proceed was reviewed in August 2019, 2021 and 2022 without change.
- After seeking legal advice from the Crown Prosecution Service, the Metropolitan Police Service liaised with United States authorities and concluded investigations focused mainly overseas, so international authorities should lead.
- Following recent reporting, the Metropolitan Police Service carried out a further assessment which found no new evidence of misconduct and said it will assess any new relevant information, including United States material.
