Cops Swooped on Epstein’s Pal to Stop Him From Fleeing

Britain’s former ambassador to the U.S. Peter Mandelson, who is being investigated over emails he sent to his “best pal” Jeffrey Epstein, was arrested Monday amid fears that he was planning to flee the U.K., according to reports.

Mandelson’s lawyers claimed on Tuesday that his arrest was prompted by a “baseless suggestion” that he was preparing to leave the country and settle overseas.
