The European Commission has requested an investigation into Lord Mandelson by the EU's anti-fraud agency following the release of documents linking him to Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson, who served as the Commission's trade envoy and later as UK business secretary, is accused of sharing internal government information with Epstein. He was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office but maintains he acted lawfully. The investigation follows his dismissal as the UK's ambassador to the US and comes amid allegations of a potential flight risk.
