Ex Ambassador to Washington Peter Mandelson was arrested on Monday on suspicion of “misconduct in public office” following revelations about his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein, the late sex offender.

It less than a week after the former Prince Andrew was taken into police custody on the same grounds.

Both men are suspected of improperly passing British government information to the disgraced U. financier.

The arrests are some of the most dramatic fallout from the trove of more than 3 million pages of Epstein-related documents released last month by the U.S. Justice Department.

London’s Metropolitan Police said “officers have arrested a 72-year-old man on suspicion of misconduct in public office” at an address in north London. He was taken to a police station for questioning.

The man was not named, as is British police practice. andelson was filmed being led from his London home to a car by plainclothes officers on Monday afternoon.

Police are investigating Mandelson over claims he passed sensitive government information to Epstein 15 years ago.

His arrest came four days after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested in a separate case on suspicion of a similar offense.

Andrew was released after 11 hours in custody while the police investigation continues.

Mandelson held senior government roles under previous Labour governments and was London’s ambassador to Washington until Prime Minister Keir Starmer fired him in September after emails were published showing that he kept his friendship with Epstein after the financier’s 2008 conviction for sex offenses involving a minor.

The files showed revelations about Mandelson’s ties to Epstein who he referred to as “my best pal.”

Messages suggest that he passed on sensitive government information to Epstein in 2009, when Mandelson was a senior minister in the British government.
