Gordon Brown warned government in 2025 over Mandelson as Met Police start probe - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"I have today written to the Met Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, with information relevant to his investigation of Lord Mandelson's disclosure of market sensitive and confidential Government information to the American financier, Jeffrey Epstein, an inexcusable and unpatriotic act at a time when the whole government and country were attempting to address the global financial crisis that was damaging so many livelihoods."
"I have sent Sir Mark correspondence, exchanged between myself and the Cabinet Secretary last year, and I have also passed over information arising from it that may be important in his current investigation. I have included the letter I sent in September 2025 asking the Cabinet Secretary to investigate the veracity of information contained in the Epstein papers regarding the sale of assets arising from the banking collapse and communications about them between Lord Mandelson and Mr Epstein."
The Metropolitan Police confirmed an investigation into Peter Mandelson for misconduct in public office, an offence that can carry a life sentence. The probe concerns allegations that Mandelson passed market-sensitive and confidential government information to Jeffrey Epstein during the global financial crisis. Former prime minister Gordon Brown wrote to Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley and supplied correspondence and information he said were relevant to the investigation. Brown included a September 2025 letter sent to Cabinet Secretary Chris Wormald requesting an inquiry into the veracity of claims in the Epstein papers about asset sales and communications between Mandelson and Epstein. He also enclosed a November 2026 (sic) response from the Cabinet Secretary.
