British police said on Saturday that they had found no evidence of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor asked one of his bodyguards to investigate Jeffrey Epstein victim virginia giuffre,
of london Metropolitan In October police said they were investigating media reports that in 2011 the former Prince Andrew sought information from a police bodyguard to discredit Giuffre to find out whether he had any criminal record. The Mail on Sunday newspaper claimed that the then-prince had given Giuffre’s date of birth and social security number to his taxpayer-funded bodyguard.
In a statement on Saturday, the force said its assessment had revealed “no additional evidence of criminal acts or misconduct” and that it would not open a criminal investigation.
Police Central Specialist Crime Commander Ella Marriott said: “The Met is committed to fully assessing any new information that may assist this case.” “To date, we have received no additional evidence that would support reopening the investigation. In the absence of any additional information, we will take no further action. Our thoughts will always be with Ms. Giuffre’s family and friends following her death.”
Giuffre, who committed suicide in April, alleged that in the early 2000s, when she was a teenager, she was caught up in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring and was exploited by Andrew and other influential people.
King Charles III Last month, his younger brother was formally stripped of his royal title after new details emerged about Andrew’s relationship with Epstein and Giuffre’s posthumous memoir refocused attention on his allegations.
Mountbatten-Windsor reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre in 2022 after filing a civil suit in New York. Although he did not admit wrongdoing, he acknowledged Giuffre’s suffering as a victim of sex trafficking.
