UK government contacts police over alleged leaks to Epstein by politician Peter Mandelson

The Cabinet Office referred files showing Mandelson allegedly shared sensitive 2008 crisis data and received $75,000 from Epstein; police review potential criminal misconduct.

  • On Tuesday the Cabinet Office referred new Epstein material to police as Peter Mandelson's misconduct reports are reviewed, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer criticized him during the meeting.
  • A tranche of files released last week shows the U.S. Department of Justice included internal documents indicating contacts between Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein during 2008–2010.
  • Peter Mandelson insisted `I have no record and no recollection of receiving these sums` after bank records suggested three $25K payments, totaling $75,000, to accounts linked to him or his partner, and a photo claimed to be from Epstein's Paris flat.
  • The Prime Minister has ordered an urgent civil service review and the government is drawing up legislation to strip Mandelson of his peerage, following his resignation from the Labour Party on Sunday.
  • In May 2010 Mandelson messaged Epstein that `sources tell me 500 b euro bailout` hours before European governments announced a 500 billion euro deal.
