British detectives are reportedly preparing to travel to the US to speak to the family of the late Virginia Giuffre as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.
According to The Times, officers from Thames Valley Police plan to meet members of Giuffre’s family as investigators continue to look into allegations linked to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The former duke was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office in connection with his previous role as Britain’s trade envoy.
The investigation has since been expanded.
Detectives are now looking into a wider range of potential offenses after widening their investigation in March to include allegations of corruption and possible sex-trafficking-related offences.
Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers, reached a multimillion-dollar settlement with Andrew in 2022 after filing a civil lawsuit accusing him of sexually assaulting her when she was 17.
Andrew has repeatedly denied the allegations, and the settlement included no admission of liability or wrongdoing.
The latest reports come as Giuffre’s brother, Sky Roberts, revealed the family is “actively working” to have the Duke of York appear at a formal parliamentary hearing, saying they remain determined to seek further accountability.
