Andrew called out by Virginia Giuffre’s family after latest disappointment: ‘Justice has not been served’
Major inquiry into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s case dropped by Met Police
Virginia Giuffre’s family has retaliated against London’s Metropolitan Police dropping an inquiry into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s illegal conduct regarding the late survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking network.
According to The Telegraph, “In October, a leaked email revealed that Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor allegedly asked his taxpayer-funded police bodyguard to investigate Ms. Giuffre and passed him her date of birth and social security number.”
After the dismissal of their investigation, Met Police said in a statement, “Following recent reporting suggesting that Mr. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor asked his Met Police close protection officer to carry out checks on Ms. Giuffre in 2011, the MPS has carried out a further assessment. This assessment has not revealed any additional evidence of criminal acts or misconduct.”
Shortly after the announcement, Giuffre’s family shared their dismayed feelings with The Telegraph on December 13.
“We are deeply disappointed that the Metropolitan Police have dropped their investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor without explanation and without speaking with us, Virginia’s family,” their statement revealed. “We emailed with a detective from the Metropolitan Police yesterday, Friday, Dec 12, who gave us no indication that this announcement was imminent. Indeed, he asked us if we had any evidence we would like to present; we had not yet replied.”
The Giuffre family’s message further noted the imminent release of the Epstein files by the US Congress and expressed shock “that the Metropolitan Police didn’t wait to see what further evidence might appear.”
“While we have hailed the UK’s overall handling of the case of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor previously, today we feel justice has not been served. We continue to challenge the system that protects abusers, especially as more evidence comes to light that can hold people accountable. Our sister Virginia – and all survivors – are owed this much,” the statement concluded.
Whereas Spencer Kuvin, representative attorney for nine Epstein victims, reflected on the latest situation as a failure of the police to protect victims.
“Sadly, it appears that yet again the police have failed the victims of Epstein and others,” he said. “The systemic failures by both the US and UK governments are a sad commentary on how our political system appears to favour the wealthy and powerful in this world.”
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was cast out of the royal establishment by King Charles in October, who stripped his younger brother of his titles and honours, with more nationwide dispossession underway for the former prince.
