Giuffre Family Criticise Met for Dropping Inquiry Into Andrew 'Smear Campaign'

Metropolitan Police found no new evidence to reopen the case after multiple reviews; the Giuffre family criticizes lack of consultation amid forthcoming US evidence releases.

  • On Saturday, Scotland Yard said the Metropolitan Police Service carried out a further assessment and found no additional evidence to reopen the inquiry, while the Giuffre family said they were not consulted and that justice has not been served.
  • The Met sought advice from the Crown Prosecution Service and liaised with United States authorities, saying trafficking allegations largely concerned conduct outside the UK and officers interviewed Ms Giuffre and other potential victims before deciding against a full investigation.
  • Records show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor emailed Perkins hours before a 2011 photograph and settled Giuffre's US civil claim in February 2022 for a sum said to be worth 9m, avoiding trial.
  • In the absence of new information, the Metropolitan Police Service will take no further action but pledged to assess any new and relevant material, including material from US releases.
  • With US files due for release under the Epstein Transparency Act, the Giuffre family said they were surprised the Met did not wait, while Virginia Giuffre died in April this year and her posthumous book, Nobody's Girl, was published in October.
