Peter Mandelson, a former British minister, has filed a complaint after police arrested him yesterday on the alleged basis of a "baseless suggestion" that he was about to flee the country. According to a statement issued by his lawyers, he had already agreed to attend a police interview the previous month, implying the arrest was unjustified.

    1. It is regrettable this rapidly ended in the media.
    2. To prevent any inaccurate speculation I'd like to confirm that, upon receipt of information, that I felt it was relevant I pass this on to the Metropolitan Police in good faith, as is my duty and responsibility.

    1. Despite previous agreement between police and legal team over voluntary interview in early March, police arrested me because they claimed … that I was about to flee to the British Virgin Islands and take up permanent residence abroad, leaving Reinaldo, my family, home and Jock [his dog] behind me.

    Metropolitan Police
    1. The Met has apologised to the speaker of the House of Commons this afternoon for inadvertently revealing information during an investigation into allegations of misconduct in public office.

    1. We have asked the [Met police] for the evidence relied upon to justify the arrest. Peter Mandelson's overriding priority is to cooperate with the police investigation, as he has done throughout this process, and to clear his name.
    2. There is ⁠absolutely no truth whatsoever in ⁠any such ​suggestion.
    3. The arrest was ​prompted by a baseless suggestion ​that he was planning to leave the country and take up ‌permanent residence abroad.
