An ABC (Oz) article: What we know about ex-prince Andrew's arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office

The last section of that article:

"Is the arrest related to the Epstein files?

"Police have not confirmed this, however representatives from TVP — the force that arrested Mr Mountbatten-Windsor — last week met with Crown prosecutors to discuss allegations about the former royal that stemmed from the Epstein files.

"For example, emails in the Epstein files suggested that Mr Mountbatten-Windsor sent a report to Epstein outlining investment opportunities in Afghanistan.

"The document, titled Helmand: High Value Commercial Opportunities for Foreign Investment Brief for HRH Duke of York was dated December 19, 2010.

"He has not responded to those reports."


My guess about Andrew ("formerly known as Prince" ;-D ) is that he will be under investigation for leaking UK information to Epstein, mostly because the chance of pinning him - or anyone - down on the Epstein issues is very slim at present. There is way too much paperwork to wade through on Epstein, but the UK information leakage could be investigated more thoroughly.

The other UK issue regarding appointment of the previous UK Ambassador to USA, Peter Mandelson is also focusing more on leaks of UK information to Epstein rather than the sexual misconduct issues, again I think because it would be more difficult to find hard evidence on the sexual misconduct issues.

In both cases, hopefully, the sexual misconduct issues might possibly be investigated further when more concrete evidence comes to light.
