AN INVESTIGATION into misconduct in public office is ongoing following the arrest of a man in February.
A man in his sixties from Norfolk was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
He was interviewed under caution and released under investigation on the same day.
Two addresses, in Berkshire and in Norfolk, were searched.
Following the arrest and search activity, we have been working with the United States Department of Justice to get further information that may be related to this investigation. We have also been working with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in the United Kingdom and have sought early investigative advice from them as we would in serious, complex, or sensitive cases.
The investigation is examining a number of aspects of alleged misconduct following the release of files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act in the United States.
Police are also speaking with a number of witnesses, however as per national guidance means that officers cannot confirm the identities of those individuals.
Thames Valley Police Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright said: “Our misconduct in public office investigation is continuing. Misconduct in public office is a crime that can take different forms, making this a complex investigation.
“Our team of very experienced detectives are working meticulously through a significant amount of information that has come in from the public and other sources.
“We are committed to conducting a thorough investigation into all reasonable lines of enquiry, wherever they may lead.
“We encourage anyone with information to get in touch with us through the normal non-urgent contact channels, such as the Thames Valley Police online portal.
“I understand the high level of interest in this work, but please be patient as we continue to actively progress our investigation. We will provide further updates to the public and media when appropriate.”
