Breaking news on the Epstein case, live: the files in the United Kingdom and the release of Peter Mandelson

The president of the House of Commons, Lindsay Hoyle, admitted this Wednesday that he sent “in good faith” to the Police information that Peter Mandelson intended to flee the United Kingdom due to the investigation into his links with the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, something denied by the former minister’s lawyers. Mandelson was arrested on Monday by officers from the London Metropolitan Police (Met), who are investigating allegations that the Labor politician once passed sensitive government information to Epstein when he was trade minister. The politician, arrested for misconduct in public office, was released on parole hours later. The Mishcon de Reya law firm, which represents him, said Tuesday that agents moved to arrest Mandelson on “unsubstantiated allegations that he was preparing to leave the country and establish permanent residence abroad.”
