It is alleged that he sent confidential government documents to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. However, after being interrogated throughout the day, he was released late on Thursday evening. Police issued a statement saying that a 60-year-old man was arrested, who has now been released after investigation. This means that neither have charges been framed against them nor have they been given a complete clean chit.
According to media reports, police confirmed that a search operation was conducted in Norfolk, which has now ended. Under British law, the police are required to have reasonable suspicion and grounds of a crime to make an arrest.
