UK police to re-examine Prince Andrew file

The British police promised this Thursday that they will re-examine the accusations against Prince Andrew, after a woman sued him in the United States, assuring that he abused her through the network of businessman Jeffrey Epstein.

Virginia Giuffre, now 38, claims that Queen Elizabeth II’s second son is “one of the powerful men” to whom she was “given over for sexual purposes.”

The events occurred between 2000 and 2002 when the complainant was 16 years old and was done through the extensive sex trafficking network for which Epstein was imprisoned. The financier committed suicide in a Manhattan prison in the summer of 2019.

“I have asked my team to review the documents again,” London Police Chief Cressida Dick told LBC station, adding that the charges had already been

investigated twice in cooperation with the Prosecutor’s Office. “Of course we are willing to work with the foreign authorities, we will provide them

with all the assistance requested within the framework of the law,” added Dick, who said that “no one is above the law.”

Prince Andrew, who had already rejected these accusations, is accused of having “sexually assaulted” Giuffre, then a minor, on three occasions: in London, at the home of a person close to Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell; on the property of a New

York businessman and in the Virgin Islands. Contacted by AFP, neither the services of Prince Andrew nor the royal family

wanted to comment
