The British police is investigating Peter Mandelson for disclosing government information to Jeffrey Epstein

The metropolitan police have launched a criminal investigation regarding allegations that Peter Mandelson, former minister and European commissioner, disclosed sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein, convicted of sexual abuse. Mandelson has resigned from the House of Lords, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called for the withdrawal of his noble title.

Recent documents suggest that Peter Mandelson passed confidential details about government policy to Jeffrey Epstein. Scotland Yard is investigating the suspicion of abuse of office, a crime that can lead to life imprisonment. The scandal has generated furious reactions among British politicians and has affected the government's plans to focus on domestic issues. The European Commission, where Mandelson was a commissioner, has also launched an investigation. Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that he is appalled by this information and has ordered the police file to be handed over.
