British police release former minister Peter Mandelson on bail after questioning

London.- British Police released former Labour minister Peter Mandelson on bail after several hours of questioning for allegedly having supplied sensitive official information to the deceased American pedophile and millionaire Jeffrey Epstein.

The police clarified that Mandelson is released on bail and pending further investigations, but did not offer further details to avoid prejudging the integrity of that investigation. Mandelson, 72, was a Labour minister, European commissioner and his country's ambassador to the United States, before being stripped of the latter post when the extent of his links with the American magnate became public, whom he went so far as to call his "best friend". The Metropolitan Police of London indicated that Mandelson's detention, transferred to a police station, occurred after the searches carried out in recent days in two properties: one in the British capital and another in the English county of Wiltshire.

Sending Information

The release by the US Administration of the so-called 'Epstein papers' revealed that the Labour politician sent the businessman in 2009 information about the intention of the Executive of then Prime Minister Gordon Brown to sell public assets in response to the 2008 credit crisis. Furthermore, in 2010 he informed him that the European Union was planning a rescue package for Greece to prevent its debt crisis from spreading to the entire euro zone. Mandelson's detention occurred after Thames Valley Police also detained former Prince Andrew, brother of King Charles III, last Thursday for questioning regarding alleged misconduct in public office. The former Duke of York was subsequently released while the investigation continues.
