British police have arrested former UK Ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson, in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Scotland Yard is investigating allegations of misconduct in public office, stemming from recent US Justice Department filings that suggest Mandelson had closer ties to Epstein than previously known. The investigation focuses on claims that Mandelson, who served as Business Secretary under Prime Minister Gordon Brown in 2008, may have leaked sensitive government information to Epstein. Specifically, he is alleged to have shared details about a €500 billion Eurozone bailout package a day before its public announcement. Mandelson had previously resigned from the Labour Party due to his association with the deceased sex offender.
