The Epstein Files: Andrew and the Met Police’s missing investigation | FourSight

Описание: There's an unanswered question at the heart of the Epstein scandal - why have allegations against Epstein and Maxwell about their UK operation and activity never been fully investigated?

After the release of millions of documents from the Epstein Files and the arrest of the former Prince Andrew for alleged misconduct in public office, we ask the Metropolitan Police why alleged sexual crimes and trafficking allegations on British soil have never been investigated.

To understand a hole at the heart of the Epstein scandal, we look in detail at the story of Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Groomed by Ghislaine Maxwell at just 15, Roberts Giuffre claimed she was kept as a "sex slave" for three years.

We explore the evidence of her 2001 meeting with the Prince in London - a meeting the Met was told about as early as 2015 in a letter from her then lawyer, Paul Cassell. This document wasn't just about trafficking; it contained explicit allegations against Andrew, Maxwell and Epstein that went far beyond the narrow scope used by the Metropolitan Police in their public statements, including a wider blackmail operation targeting powerful men. Despite these specific claims of sexual abuse in the UK, the Met repeatedly insisted the matter was a US responsibility.

While some expected the release of millions of Epstein files to spark a wave of American justice, the reality has been a firestorm of criticism regarding the US Department of Justice’s handling of the case. Under the Trump administration, critical pages, including FBI summaries of sexual assault allegations involving Donald Trump and Epstein, were initially missing from the public release, sparking criticism and allegations of of cover-up. While many have championed ‘justice’ in the UK we ask whether Epstein’s victims have really seen it here in the UK.

Through years of correspondence and the latest file dumps, we explore why we think the Metropolitan Police’s "maths doesn't work" and that more Epstein victims came forward to the Metropolitan Police than they’ve ever admitted. With Virginia Roberts Giuffre having taken her own life in 2025, she will never see justice, but the questions for the British and American establishments authorities to deliver for the rest of the victims are only getting louder.
