Police set up national group to deal with UK-related Epstein allegations

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

British police have established a national coordination group to address allegations of Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking activities and related claims against his associates within the UK. Several police forces, including Thames Valley and Surrey police, are currently assessing claims, including those against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who denies any wrongdoing. The Metropolitan Police are investigating Peter Mandelson for allegedly sharing information with Epstein. The national group, led by Louisa Rolfe, aims to coordinate these investigations and prevent duplication of effort, anticipating a surge in allegations following the release of US Department of Justice Epstein files. This coordinated approach mirrors the strategy used during the Jimmy Savile scandal.
