Met Police will not investigate Britain's Prince Andrew accusations, force says
"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 (Metropolitan Police Service) has carried out a further assessment. This assessment has not revealed any additional evidence of criminal acts or misconduct. The Met remains committed to thoroughly assessing any new information that could assist in this matter."
"To date, we have not received any additional evidence that would support reopening the investigation. In the absence of any further information, we will be taking no further action. As with any other matter, should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including in any information resulting from the release of material in the US, we will assess it."
"In October The Mail On Sunday claimed the former Duke of York, the King's brother, passed Ms Giuffre's date of birth and social security number to his close protection officer in 2011, and asked him to investigate as part of a smear campaign against his accuser."
The Metropolitan Police assessed claims that Prince Andrew provided Ms Giuffre’s date of birth and social security number to his close protection officer in 2011 and asked him to investigate as part of an alleged smear campaign. The assessment found no additional evidence of criminal acts or misconduct and no evidence to support reopening any prior investigation. The force will take no further action in the absence of further information. The police remain committed to assessing any new and relevant material that could assist the matter, including material released in the United States, and will reassess if such evidence emerges.
