On Wednesday afternoon the police has issued a statement over Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor into allegations that the former Prince and long time associate of Jeffrey Epstein committed misconduct in a public office.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) will now “determine whether a criminal offence is suspected and whether a full investigation is required.”
Thames Valley Police Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright said on Wednesday afternoon, “We can confirm today (11/2) that Thames Valley Police is leading the ongoing assessment of allegations relating to misconduct in public office. This specifically relates to documents within the United States Department of Justice’s Epstein Files.
“As part of this assessment, we have engaged in discussions with Specialist Crown Prosecutors from the CPS. We will provide updates as and when they are available, but at this stage it would be inappropriate to discuss further specifics of this work.”
“During an assessment phase, information is evaluated to determine whether a criminal offence is suspected and whether a full investigation is required.
“Allegations of misconduct in public office involve particular complexities, and therefore an assessment must be conducted carefully and thoroughly.
“While we cannot provide timescales over when a decision as to whether a criminal investigation will be opened, we can assure you that Thames Valley Police is making progress as quickly as possible.”
The police have not confirmed a criminal investigation is under way, the update only informs us that the police are in discussions with the CPS.
