Caption: Police Search Royal Properties As Investigation Into Andrew Continues. British police searched properties linked to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor as the investigation into alleged misconduct in public office continued. Andrew was arrested on his 66th birthday on suspicion of sending confidential government documents to Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a trade envoy. He was held for more than 10 hours before being released under investigation and was not charged with any offence. Newly released U.S. files suggested he had shared reports on investment opportunities in Afghanistan and assessments of Vietnam and Singapore with Epstein. Andrew consistently denied wrongdoing and said he regretted his friendship with Epstein, who died in 2019. King Charles III said he learned of the arrest with “deepest concern” and insisted that “the law must take its course.” Officers searched Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate and his former residence on the Windsor estate as part of the ongoing inquiry. Misconduct in public office carried a potential life sentence and had to be tried in a Crown Court, though an arrest did not imply guilt.
