Mandelson Was Arrested For Misconduct

As part of an inquiry into suspected misconduct in public service, Peter Mandelson was detained and placed under arrest at his residence in London.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed a 72-year-old man was arrested on Monday afternoon following searches at two properties in London and Wiltshire.

Detectives arrived at Mandelson’s Regent’s Park address at about 4.15 pm in two unmarked vehicles.

After spending almost half an hour inside, he was seen exiting the property and getting into a police car flanked by officers.

Scotland Yard said: ‘Officers have arrested a 72-year-old man on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

‘He was arrested at an address in Camden on Monday, 23 February and has been taken to a London police station for interview.

‘This follows search warrants at two addresses in the Wiltshire and Camden areas.’

Two weeks after police searched Mandelson’s residences, he was arrested.

He had been spotted at both addresses in recent days after keeping a low profile following the release of the second batch of Epstein files. 

The Epstein files have revealed Mandelson communicating lewd and off-the-cuff messages with the late child abuser, including joking about ‘well-hung young men’ when he was a Cabinet minister. 

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said that Mandelson’s arrest is ‘the defining moment of Keir Starmer’s premiership’.

She added: ‘It’s a matter of when (Starmer) goes, not if he goes. I asked him if he had full confidence in Peter Mandelson just a few months ago, and he said yes, despite all of these allegations being known, only to see the man arrested shows that the prime minister has terrible judgment.

‘He’s weak. He has not released the information around the (Mandelson) files, though he sacks the person who is supposed to be overseeing the release. I think that shows what kind of person the prime minister is.’

Earlier in February, police officers arrived outside Mandelson’s £7.6 million house near Regent’s Park – which the politician bought in 2011 following advice from Epstein.

The officers knocked on the door and entered the house, with one of them wearing what appeared to be a small body camera.

The officers were seen gathering things from their car, including a blue box and a large bag, before re-entering the property.

Days after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on accusations of misconduct in public office, Mandelson was also arrested.

Everyone who has anything to do with it will soon be singing like canaries. The dominoes are falling one by one, but how do we know if they’re rubbish arrests – smoke and mirrors to make it look like they’re giving a damn for the debauchery that went on? Two down, lots to come in the future – the inventory will be extremely long.

One card at a time – the house of illusions is falling, and they will ultimately get caught with their pants down.

But right now, they’re turning this Epstein story into a global sport. Mind you, it will probably be much better than the Olympics, but let’s face it, they’re all cabinet lickers, but what it actually boils down to is that millionaires and billionaires are paying people off to accept paedophilia.

There were evidently emails from Mandelson to Epstein in which they were discussing girls in a derogatory way. Mandelson will probably sing like a bird now in an attempt to secure himself a lower sentence. The can of worms has now been firmly opened, so expect more to follow.
