On February 23, 2026, former UK ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson, was arrested by London’s Metropolitan Police on suspicion of misconduct in public office, amid ongoing investigations into his ties with the late Jeffrey Epstein. The arrest follows the release of documents by the US Department of Justice, which revealed that Mandelson had shared sensitive information with Epstein during his tenure as a government minister. The police stated, "Officers have arrested a 72-year-old man on suspicion of misconduct in public office," highlighting the seriousness of the allegations against him (Dawn, 2026). This incident comes shortly after the arrest of Prince Andrew, King Charles III's brother, in a related investigation, indicating a broader scrutiny of high-profile figures connected to Epstein (Geo Business, 2026).
