medium article 2 min

Police are searching two properties in Camden and Wiltshire connected to Peter Mandelson as part of an investigation into alleged misconduct in public office. The investigation focuses on claims that Mandelson, a 72-year-old former government minister, leaked market-sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein in 2009. The searches, authorized by a warrant, aim to gather evidence, including electronic devices and documents, before an expected interview with Mandelson under criminal caution. The investigation was launched after the release of new documents detailing Mandelson's close ties to Epstein, including allegations of financial transactions and information sharing during his time as business secretary. Mandelson was previously sacked as ambassador to the US due to his relationship with Epstein.
