Met contacted FBI over Andrew investigations

THE Metropolitan Police contacted the FBI last month to ask if there were any ongoing investigations related to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's association with Jeffrey Epstein, newly released emails show.

- 

In an email, dated November 10, a detective chief inspector said they were "reviewing" alleged efforts by Andrew to get information on Virginia Giuffre through his protection officers, human trafficking allegations and flight logs concerning Epstein's trips to the UK.

The Met officer said a colleague had done work with the FBI in 2021 concerning paedophile financier Epstein and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

Earlier this month, the force said it would not launch a criminal investigation into the claims the former duke asked his taxpayer-funded bodyguard to dig up dirt on Ms Giuffre.
