据《每日电讯报》周日报道,查尔斯国王的弟弟安德鲁·蒙巴顿-温莎已就其因涉嫌渎职而被捕一事对泰晤士河谷警察局提起诉讼。
该逮捕行动基于美国司法部发布的关于已故性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的文件。
King Charles' younger brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has launched a legal action against Thames Valley Police over his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in office based on documents released by the US Justice Department on the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the Telegraph reported on Sunday.
报道称,蒙巴顿-温莎于2月因涉嫌在2001年至2011年担任贸易特使期间向爱泼斯坦泄露政府文件而被捕,他已请求法官裁定警方针对他的行动是否合法。路透社暂时无法核实该报道。
Mountbatten-Windsor, who was arrested in February on suspicion of leaking government documents to Epstein when he was a special representative for trade between 2001 and 2011, has asked a judge to determine whether the police force's action towards him was lawful, the report said. Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
泰晤士河谷警察局和白金汉宫未立即回应在工作时间外发送的电子邮件置评请求。
Thames Valley Police and Buckingham Palace did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment, sent outside regular business hours.
已故伊丽莎白二世女王的次子蒙巴顿-温莎否认与爱泼斯坦有关联的任何不当行为,并表示后悔与其的友谊。
Mountbatten-Windsor, the second son of the late Queen Elizabeth, has denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, and said he regrets their friendship.
据《每日电讯报》称,他已就允许警方搜查其桑德林厄姆庄园住宅及温莎皇家别墅前住所的搜查令提起司法审查。
According to the Telegraph, he has lodged a judicial review in connection with the search warrants that allowed police to raid his home on the Sandringham Estate and his former residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor.
蒙巴顿-温莎在被拘留后接受了泰晤士河谷警察局侦探的全天候询问。
Removed from royal duties over ties to Jeffrey EpsteinMountbatten-Windsor was questioned all day by detectives from Thames Valley Police after being detained.
警方表示,他们正在调查有关他在担任贸易特使期间向爱泼斯坦传递文件的指控。
The police force said it was looking into allegations that he had passed documents to Epstein while working as the trade envoy.
这位前王子因与爱泼斯坦的关系于2019年被迫辞去所有官方王室职务,随后在去年10月,随着有关两人关系的新披露,他的兄长剥夺了他的头衔和荣誉。
The former prince was forced to quit all official royal duties in 2019 over his ties with Epstein and was then stripped by his older brother of his titles and honors last October amid further revelations about their relationship.
