Prince Andrew Gets Arrested Over Alleged Misconduct Tied to Epstein


(MENAFN) Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew and the brother of King Charles, has reportedly been taken into custody by UK police on suspicion of misconduct in public office, according to reports. The development follows longstanding scrutiny over his close association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

British media reports state that unmarked police vehicles and plainclothes officers arrived at the former royal’s residence on Thursday before detaining him. Authorities are said to suspect that during his time serving as the United Kingdom’s trade envoy, Mountbatten-Windsor may have shared confidential or sensitive information with Epstein.

The arrest is described as unprecedented in modern times, marking what reports characterize as the first instance in recent history of a member of the British royal family being detained by law enforcement.
