Former UK ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, according to the Metropolitan Police. Authorities said the 72-year-old was arrested at an address in Camden and taken to a London police station for questioning following search warrants executed in Camden and Wiltshire.
The arrest is linked to allegations that Mandelson passed market-sensitive information to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein while serving as UK business secretary. The development follows Mandelson’s resignation from the Labour Party and his departure from the House of Lords, with the controversy also raising pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer over his appointment of Mandelson as ambassador.
