Judge rules police search warrants for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor were unlawful
The ABC reported overnight that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor had won his court battle to have police search warrants quashed, and the Herald and The Age reported a judge ruled the warrants unlawful. The warrants, issued at the Old Bailey, allowed Thames Valley Police to search his Sandringham residence and Royal Lodge in an investigation into misconduct in public office linked to the Epstein files. He has been questioned but not charged and denies wrongdoing.
It limits what evidence police can use and raises questions about how the warrants were obtained.
No direct effect in Australia.
Watch whether Thames Valley Police appeal and whether the investigation continues without the seized material.
