"Prince Andrew Embroiled in Controversy Over Alleged Groping Incident with Puppet Likeness"

The Metropolitan Police have stated that they have not initiated an investigation into Prince Andrew following calls from the anti-monarchy group Republic to probe sexual assault allegations against him. These allegations, which Prince Andrew has denied, resurfaced after the unsealing of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. The allegations are believed to be from Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who has accused Prince Andrew of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor. Despite the public pressure, the police have indicated they will only assess new and relevant information if it comes to light. In 2022, Prince Andrew settled a lawsuit with Giuffre for a reported $14 million without admitting any wrongdoing.

"Met Probe and Campaigner Demand Swift Justice in Post Office Horizon Scandal"

The Metropolitan Police is investigating potential fraud offences related to the Post Office scandal, where over 700 sub-postmasters were wrongfully accused of theft and false accounting due to a faulty Horizon IT system. The investigation, which also includes potential perjury and perverting the course of justice, was prompted by a referral from the Director of Public Prosecutions in January 2020. The ITV drama about the scandal has led to 50 new potential victims coming forward. To date, 93 convictions have been overturned, but many affected individuals are still awaiting justice and compensation.
