英国声名狼藉的前王子安德鲁·蒙巴顿-温莎于周一提起法律诉讼，要求撤销导致其住所被搜查的搜查令。警方于2月19日以涉嫌与其已故的定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦有关联的公职不当行为为由，逮捕了这位66岁的王子。
Britain's disgraced former prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, filed a legal action on Monday to quash warrants that led to searches of his residences. The police arrested the 66-year-old on February 19 on suspicion of misconduct over his links to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
英国声名狼藉的前王子安德鲁·蒙巴顿-温莎已对高等法院提起诉讼，要求“撤销搜查令”，这些搜查令是警方在今年早些时候逮捕他之前获得的，司法部门周一证实了这一消息。
Britain's disgraced former prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has launched a High Court challenge "to quash search warrants" obtained by police ahead of his arrest earlier this year, the judiciary confirmed Monday.
司法部门在一份声明中表示，伦敦法院定于周四举行闭门听证会。查尔斯三世国王的弟弟正在就泰晤士河谷警方对其位于皇家庄园的前后两处住所的搜查行为提出质疑。
The London court is set to hold a private hearing on Thursday, the judiciary said in a statement, as King Charles III's brother challenges Thames Valley Police over searches of his former and current homes on royal estates.
警方于2月19日，即安德鲁的生日当天，以涉嫌与其已故的美国性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦有关联的公职不当行为为由，逮捕了这位66岁的王子。他当天晚些时候获释，但仍处于调查之中。这位前王子否认了所有不当行为。
The force arrested the 66-year-old on his birthday on February 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his links to late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He was released later that day while remaining under investigation. The ex-prince has denied all wrongdoing.
警方突袭了英格兰东部偏远的桑德林汉姆皇家庄园以拘留安德鲁，并搜查了他在那里的住所以及位于伦敦以西温莎的前皇家别墅住所。《每日电讯报》周日深夜率先报道了安德鲁提起的这项法律挑战。
Officers, who swooped on the remote Sandringham royal estate in eastern England to detain Andrew, searched both his home there and his former Royal Lodge residence in Windsor, west of London. The Daily Telegraph was the first to report the legal challenge by Andrew, late on Sunday.
该报指出，自1649年查理一世受审以来，这是英国王室成员首次对针对他们的刑事程序的合法性提出质疑。
The newspaper noted it was the first time a member of Britain's royal family has challenged the lawfulness of criminal proceedings against them since the trial of Charles I in 1649.
报道称，他的法律团队希望审查由伦敦老贝利法院（正式名称为中央刑事法院）法官签发的搜查令是否合法。安德鲁的法律团队未立即回应置评请求。
It said his legal team wanted to examine whether the search warrants granted by a judge sitting at London's Old Bailey court – formally known as the Central Criminal Court – were lawful. Andrew's legal team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
司法部门新闻办公室表示：“此案涉及安德鲁·蒙巴顿-温莎申请司法审查，要求撤销中央刑事法院法官于2026年2月18日签发的搜查令。”
The judiciary's press office said, "The case concerns an application by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for a judicial review to quash search warrants issued by a judge at the Central Criminal Court on 18 February 2026".
该机构补充说，周四的听证会涉及泰晤士谷警方提出的限制获取此案法院文件申请的审议。
It added Thursday's hearing concerned an application by Thames Valley Police to restrict access to court documents in the matter.
该警方在一份声明中表示：“尽管我们对公职人员不当行为的调查仍在继续，但我们正在就此前从中央刑事法院获得的搜查令进行法律程序。
The police force said in a statement: "Whilst our investigation into misconduct in public office continues, we are engaged in legal proceedings in relation to warrants previously obtained from the Central Criminal Court.
“由于这些法律程序目前仍在进行中，我们不便进一步发表评论。”安德鲁的逮捕和警方的搜查，标志着这位失势的前王子遭遇新的低谷。去年，他因与爱泼斯坦的关联而被剥夺了王室头衔。
"As these legal proceedings are currently ongoing, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further." Andrew's arrest and the police searches marked a new low point for the disgraced ex-prince, who was stripped of his royal titles last year over his connections to Epstein.
今年早些时候，美国公布的与这位美国金融家相关的文件中出现了新的披露内容，其中包括一些电子邮件，其中安德鲁似乎与他分享了可能涉及机密的信息。
New revelations from documents relating to the American financier released by the United States earlier this year included emails in which Andrew appeared to share potentially confidential information with him.
