Former British ambassador Peter Mandelson has been detained on as police investigate whether he shared sensitive government information with Jeffrey Epstein in 2010. Mandelson faces no sexual misconduct allegations. His arrest follows that of Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor over a similar offense. Londoners say the cases signal greater accountability. Mandelson has been dismissed from his post as both men await the legal outcome.
