London, 19 Feb
A UK police force has arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on
suspicion of misconduct in public office.
The Thames Valley Police, an agency that covers areas west
of London, including Mountbatten-Windsor's former home, had it was “assessing”
reports that the former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, sent trade reports
to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2010.
The police force did not name Mountbatten-Windsor, as is
normal under UK law. But when asked if he had been arrested, the force pointed
to a statement saying that they had arrested a man in his sixties.
“Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office,'' the statement said. “It is important that we protect the integrity and objectivity of our investigation as we work with our partners to investigate this alleged offence.
