The Daily Telegraph reported today that British police went to the residence of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in eastern England.

The same source said that patrol cars with conventional number plates and about eight plainclothes officers were seen arriving at Wood Farm in Sandringham earlier today.

Thames Valley Police had said earlier in February that it was investigating allegations that Mountbatten-Windsor allegedly passed confidential government documents to Geoffrey Epstein, based on newly released records.

Read below the official police statement regarding the arrest:

“As part of the investigation, we arrested today (19/2) a man in his 60s from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Searches are being carried out at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk.

The man remains in custody.
