UK police investigating disgraced former Prince Andrew for alleged sex offenses are seeking files related to the late Virginia Giuffre, one of his accusers.
Giuffre had always maintained that she was not suicidal, despite being ruled to have taken her own life. The police investigation is ongoing, and the files being sought are likely to provide crucial information about Giuffre's claims against Prince Andrew.
The investigation is a significant development in the ongoing saga surrounding Prince Andrew's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in prison last year.
Details of the files being sought have not been disclosed, but it is understood that they will be crucial in helping the police to determine whether Prince Andrew had any knowledge of Epstein's activities.
The police investigation is being led by the Metropolitan Police Service, and it is believed that they are working closely with other agencies to ensure that all relevant information is gathered.
Prince Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing, but the investigation is likely to cause further embarrassment for the royal family.
