Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has taken legal action against Thames Valley Police over his arrest in February. The former British prince is asking a court to review the legality of the search warrants that led to the searching of his properties. BBC News ↗
The case is linked to the investigation into his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the American sex offender who died in prison. Andrew was detained in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Investigators are also looking into suspicions that he passed confidential information to Epstein. Der Standard ↗
The court hearing is scheduled for Thursday. In the application, Andrew challenges the validity of the warrants issued by a judge at London's Central Criminal Court. His legal team is seeking to have them quashed and the conduct of the police reviewed. Le Figaro ↗
Mountbatten-Windsor is 66 years old and the brother of British King Charles III. His arrest and the subsequent police searches have brought further legal consequences for the former member of the royal family. Thursday's hearing may clarify whether the police acted in accordance with the law when obtaining and executing the warrants. No further details about the investigation itself or any possible next steps against Andrew are available yet. Tagesspiegel ↗
