Court documents have shed light on the Labour former business secretary Peter Mandelson’s apparent contact with the disgraced businessman Jeffrey Epstein after the financier was convicted of procuring an underaged girl for prostitution.
The document is a 2019 internal report on Epstein by JP Morgan bank, which had a 15-year relationship with the financier, and was filed to a New York court this week.
It found that Epstein appeared to “maintain a particularly close relationship with Prince Andrew the Duke of York and Lord Peter Mandelson, a senior member of the British government”. » | Rowena Mason, Whitehall editor | Wednesday, June 21, 2023
