Brown joins the fray in Andrew scandal by New Worker correspondent Gordon Brown, the Labour leader who led the country in the late 2000s, has handed over a dossier to the police
following the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor this week. Brown has already submitted information to the police relating to disgraced Labour politician Peter Mandelson and
he has also called on the police to urgently re-examine claims that women were trafficked
to UK airports on Epstein’s private jet.

The younger brother of the king, who has been stripped of his titles, was arrested on Thursday
at the royal Sandringham Estate in Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office, which
carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment if convicted. The former prince was “released
under investigation” the same day.

King Charles says “the law must take its course” and that the authorities have “our full and wholehearted” co-operation after weeks of revelations about the former prince’s friendship
with Jeffrey Epstein, the American financier and convicted sex offender who supplied young
girls to prominent politicians and businessmen on both sides of the Atlantic and died in unusual circumstances in a New York jail in 2019.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been under renewed scrutiny since the publication of
the Epstein files in the USA that suggested he had given Epstein sensitive government documents while he was serving as UK trade envoy in 2011 and 2012. Emails released by the US Department of Justice earlier this month appear to show the former prince sharing reports of official visits to Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore with Epstein.

Brown, Labour’s number two during the Blair era who had previously called for Mountbatten-Windsor to be interviewed by police, says he has now submitted a five-page memorandum to a number of police constabularies that provides new and additional information to that which he has already given, apparently including information he gleaned from files relating to Epstein’s visits to Britain.

Brown issued a statement saying: “I have submitted a five-page memorandum to the
Metropolitan, Surrey, Sussex, Thames Valley and other relevant UK police constabularies. This
memorandum provides new and additional information to that which I submitted last week
to the Met, Essex and Thames Valley police forces where I expressed my concern that we
secure justice for trafficked girls and women,”

Brown says Epstein used Stansted Airport as a transit point for trafficking young women
from Eastern Europe, moving them through private terminals where visa checks did not apply
and passenger logs were barely kept. Writing in the New Statesman, Brown said the recently released US Department of Justice files showed in “graphic detail” how Epstein flew in girls from Latvia, Lithuania and Russia through the Essex airport.
