The former prince Andrew was arrested and subsequently released in the county of Norfolk, in eastern England, last Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office when he was the government's special trade representative in the first decade of the 2000s. According to media reports, Andrew passed sensitive government documents to Epstein. Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein hid secret files in storage centers across the United States in an apparent attempt to thwart investigations into his activities, reports The Telegraph on Monday. The American magnate, who died in prison in August 2019, had paid private detectives to remove equipment from his Florida home and take it to storage units, according to documents the newspaper says it obtained. According to the documents, Epstein rented at least one unit starting in 2003, and regular payments for its use continued until 2019, the year of his suicide in a New York prison. The search warrants reviewed by The Telegraph suggest that U.S. authorities never raided the lockers, raising the possibility that they may contain unseen evidence related to Epstein and his associates, including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, brother of King Charles III, and Peter Mandelson, the former British ambassador to the U.S.
