Peter Mandelson before he was sacked as UK ambassador to Washington.A criminal investigation has been launched into allegations Peter Mandelson passed market-sensitive information to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.Files released by the US Department of Justice apparently showed Lord Mandelson passing material to Epstein while serving as business secretary in Gordon Brown’s government in the wake of the 2008 financial crash.The Cabinet Office had passed material to the police after an initial review of documents released as part of the so-called Epstein files found they contained “likely market-sensitive information”.Brown himself has also written to Met commissioner Sir Mark Rowley setting out his concerns about “unpatriotic” Mandelson’s behaviour.The Metropolitan Police is expected to announce on Tuesday evening that Lord Mandelson is being investigated on suspicion of misconduct in public office.It has also been announced that he is to quit the House of Lords on Wednesday.Related…Gordon Brown Hands Evidence Against ‘Unpatriotic’ Mandelson To PolicePeter Mandelson Quits House Of Lords Amid Jeffrey Epstein Furore’He’s Let His Country Down’: Starmer Condemns Mandelson Over Cabinet Leaks To Epstein HuffPost UK – Athena2 – All Entries (Public) Read More
