Former UK prime minister Gordon Brown has written to multiple British police forces calling for a criminal investigation into whether Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor used taxpayer-funded RAF jets and airbases to meet convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and possibly facilitate trafficking flights. Brown submitted a dossier of new evidence from the Epstein files, highlighting flight logs and emails showing Epstein’s plane using RAF facilities and questioning potential misuse of public funds and official positions. The call adds to widespread scrutiny of Andrew’s conduct.
