Mandelson suggested holiday home for 'privacy' of Epstein 'guests'
A 2010 email shows Lord Mandelson suggested Villa Treville on Italy's Amalfi coast for Epstein's private use amid ongoing contact after Epstein's 2008 conviction.
- In August 2010, Lord Peter Mandelson emailed Jeffrey Epstein offering a villa on the Amalfi coast with `privacy with accompanying rooms for your 'guests'`; the message appears in files published this week by the US Department of Justice.
- The email chain dates to 12 August 2010, about a month after Epstein's 2008 sentence, during Mandelson's period of frequent contact with Epstein following his departure from frontline politics.
- BBC News and The Bureau of Investigative Journalism identified Mandelson as the sender after partial redaction left parts of his email visible and travel shorthand like `Myk` matched.
- A spokesperson for Lord Mandelson said he `did not discover the truth about Epstein until after his death in 2019`, and lawyers said he had `no recollection of this email`.
- The email's `guests` remain unclear, but Epstein's connections to bankers, royals, and Middle Eastern sheikhs deepen scrutiny of his elite network, involving Villa Treville on the Gulf of Salerno.
