UK police search two properties linked to Peter Mandelson as part of Epstein probe

Police searched two properties linked to Peter Mandelson amid allegations he shared sensitive government information with Jeffrey Epstein during the 2008 financial crisis, police said.

  • Metropolitan Police officers executed search warrants on Friday, February 6, 2026, at two properties linked to Peter Mandelson in Camden, north London, and Wiltshire .
  • Releases of the Epstein files suggested Mandelson passed market-sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein, while Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee will review vetting documents for Mandelson's ambassador appointment.
  • Plain‑clothes officers with body-worn cameras entered Lord Mandelson’s house and removed boxes, while no arrests have been made, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Hayley Sewart said.
  • Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer faces growing pressure over his decision to appoint Mandelson and has apologised for believing Mandelson's `lies`; MPs demand sacking Morgan McSweeney and vetting transparency.
  • The longer-term stakes include misconduct in public office, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison, and the review process delaying document release, police said.
