"A 72-year-old man arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office has been released under investigation. The investigation remains ongoing."
"In light of speculation following his arrest last week, we wish to clarify that the Metropolitan Police have removed all of Peter Mandelson's bail conditions and returned his passport. Our client did not and does not pose a flight risk and will continue to cooperate with the police investigation."
"Lord Mandelson was arrested in late February on suspicion of misconduct in public office, following claims he had leaked sensitive government information to Jeffrey Epstein."
Lord Peter Mandelson has been released from bail conditions by the Metropolitan Police but remains under investigation for misconduct in public office. He was arrested last month after Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle informed police he was a flight risk. His lawyers have confirmed his bail conditions were removed and his passport returned. The investigation continues as Mandelson cooperates with police. He was previously sacked as UK ambassador to the US and resigned from the Labour Party and House of Lords following the emergence of emails in the Epstein files. The arrest followed claims he leaked sensitive government information to Jeffrey Epstein.
