Re: Press Queries re: Prince Andrew / MLAT

Hi

Hope you're doing well. Sony to bother you at the weekend.

There's a report just out that DOJ issued a MLAT request to the UK last month regarding Prince Andrew to force him to answer questions in the Epstein investigation: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11805488/prince-andrew-quizzed-over-jeffrey-epstein-links/

Is that something you could guide me on as to its accuracy? And do you have any comment/statement at all?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes. We have made a MLAT request, which is of course highly sensitive, and confidential. Agree with statement. Thanks,
