Mandelson Arrest Deepens Scrutiny Over Epstein Ties

Peter Mandelson, the 72-year-old former Labour minister and ex-UK ambassador, was arrested at a Camden address on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The Met Police say he was taken to a London police station for interview after searches at Wiltshire and Camden properties, with police-CPS discussions ongoing. The case is linked to Mandelson’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and the government says it still plans to publish related documents in due course, while Mandelson maintains he acted appropriately during vetting.
