Mandelson Gets Released on Bail Over Epstein Case
Authorities stated that the 72-year-old was released while investigations continue. He was taken into custody at a residence in north London on Monday and interviewed at a local police station following search warrants executed at two locations in Wiltshire and Camden.
The arrest is part of a criminal inquiry into Mandelson over allegations that he leaked government emails to Epstein, who died in a New York jail cell in 2019.
These developments, which have already led to the resignations of senior aides to the UK Prime Minister, have renewed attention on Mandelson’s previous associations and drawn comparisons to some of Britain’s most high-profile political scandals.
His reported links to Epstein have sparked a political crisis described by some commentators as the most serious since the Profumo affair of the early 1960s, which ended the career of Secretary of State for War John Profumo.
Mandelson, long known as a political “spin doctor” and nicknamed the “Prince of Darkness” for his strategic skill and behind-the-scenes influence, concluded his decades-long career with recent resignations from both the Labour Party and the House of Lords.
