A criminal investigation could soon be launched into the alleged actions of a former British ambassador. Former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown gave the Metropolitan Police information in connection with Peter Mandelson. The former Member of Parliament allegedly passed market-sensitive information to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The millions of documents released on the Epstein files revealed shocking revelations about the former British ambassador to the US. In those files are e-mails between Peter and Jeffrey in which Peter gives him nuggets of political info. Critics believe this may constitute a felony, with police investigating the matter.
Peter Mandelson’s emails to Jeffrey Epstein forced Gordon Brown to write to the police
Peter’s name is being dragged through the mud for his affiliation with Jeffrey. After the e-mails surfaced, many British politicians, including Gordon, expressed their dismay. The former Prime Minister says that he had no alternative but to share this matter with the police.
The materials that Peter passed were from his time as a business secretary in Gordon’s administration. Gordon is calling this revelation a betrayal of not one but two Prime Ministers. Peter had been part of the current PM, Keir Starmer’s, team until last year.
Peter is the latest public figure in Britain to face severe consequences for his ties to Jeffrey. Former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was said to be vulnerable to prosecution without the protection of his royal titles last November.
The cabinet office passed material to the police, initially reviewing the scathing details. In 2009 appeared as though Peter might have told Jeffrey he would lobby other government members to reduce a tax on bankers’ bonuses. That same year, he sent Jeffrey an internal government report discussing how the UK could raise money following the global financial crisis. In May 2010, he messaged the late sex offender that he’d learned from a source that a 500-million-euro bailout was nearly complete. That message was dated hours before the European government announced that deal.
Peter has since resigned from the House of Lords.
