On February 24, 2026, former UK ambassador Peter Mandelson was released on bail by London’s Metropolitan Police following his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office. This arrest is part of an ongoing investigation into his ties with Jeffrey Epstein, with allegations suggesting that Mandelson sent sensitive government documents to Epstein during his tenure as a government minister. The police confirmed that he was taken into custody on February 23 and released just hours later, pending further investigation (The News Pakistan, 2026; BBC News, 2026). This incident follows the recent arrest of Prince Andrew, indicating a wider probe into high-profile figures connected to Epstein.
