Overview
- The Metropolitan Police said a further assessment found no additional evidence of criminal acts or misconduct and it will take no further action for now.
- The claim stems from Mail on Sunday reporting of a 2011 email in which Andrew allegedly shared Virginia Giuffre’s date of birth and US social security number with a Met protection officer to seek information.
- The force noted earlier decisions not to open a full investigation in 2016, reaffirmed in 2019, 2021 and 2022, partly because alleged offending largely occurred outside the UK.
- Giuffre’s family said they were deeply disappointed that the case was dropped without warning and urged authorities to consider forthcoming US releases for potential new evidence.
- Andrew has consistently denied wrongdoing, settled Giuffre’s 2022 civil lawsuit without admitting liability, and has faced non-criminal consequences after the King moved to strip his titles and privileges.
