Arrested for allegedly selling sensitive info, not, you know, the one thing Epstein is known for.

Police are investigating Mandelson over claims he passed sensitive government information to Epstein a decade and a half ago. He does not face allegations of sexual misconduct.

Totally agree, it would be better to get him also for the sex crimes. It's pretty great to get him for selling out his own country for banker bonuses though
