"A 2019 report commissioned by JPMorgan found that Epstein appeared to 'maintain a particularly close relationship with Prince Andrew the Duke of York and Lord Peter Mandelson, a senior member of the British government'. The report cited Epstein's personal records which showed contact beginning in 2002 and continuing throughout the 2000s."
"After Epstein was first convicted of procuring an underage girl in 2008, their relationship continued across 2009-2011, beginning when Lord Mandelson was business minister and continuing after the end of that period, with records indicating Mandelson reportedly stayed at Epstein's residence during times when Epstein was incarcerated."
"A comprehensive 'due diligence' report, assembled in December 2024, raised alarms about a 'general reputational risk' associated with Sir Keir Starmer due to Mandelson's connections to Epstein and his network, including involvement in a 2014 ocean conservation initiative established by Ghislaine Maxwell."
Government documents from December 2024 disclosed that Lord Peter Mandelson maintained substantial connections with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein prior to his appointment as UK ambassador to the United States. A due diligence report flagged reputational risks to Sir Keir Starmer stemming from these associations. Mandelson continued engaging with Epstein between 2009 and 2011, even after Epstein's 2008 conviction for procuring an underage girl, reportedly staying at his residence during incarceration. Mandelson also participated in a 2014 ocean conservation initiative established by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's associate. A 2019 JPMorgan report identified Epstein as maintaining particularly close relationships with Prince Andrew and Mandelson, with contact documented from 2002 through the 2000s.
