Adnkronos (Adnkronos) –
British Thames Valley Police have admitted that the warrants issued last February to search the homes of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Prince Andrew, were "unlawful." This emerged during a High Court hearing, where lawyers for King Charles III's brother challenged the validity of the searches. The police also acknowledged that the court's initial decision to authorize the warrants based on the specific law used was "erroneous."
During the operations, the officers seized documents and electronic devices.
Andrea was arrested on February 19 on charges of misconduct in the performance of a public function, as part of an investigation that began after the U.S. Department of Justice released documents alleging he passed classified information to the late pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein when he served as Britain's trade representative in 2010.
