"Global Counsel, which Lord Mandelson set up in 2010, but left when he was made Britain's ambassador to the US in 2024, went into liquidation last week, amid growing scrutiny over the disgraced politician's friendship and business dealings with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein."
"Before calling in administrators, the company vowed to conduct an internal audit of Lord Mandelson's emails, following an announcement from the UK government that it would publish tens of thousands of messages from his time as US ambassador to Washington."
"The audit revealed a gaping hole with "significant" numbers of emails missing, according to a report in The Times. "The company does not know how the emails came to be missing," the article, which does not name its source."
Global Counsel, a lobbying firm established by Lord Peter Mandelson in 2010, entered liquidation following scrutiny of Mandelson's connections to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Before liquidation, the company conducted an internal audit of Mandelson's emails as part of due diligence, prompted by the UK government's plan to publish tens of thousands of messages from his tenure as US ambassador. The investigation revealed a substantial number of missing emails from Mandelson's time at the firm, with the company unable to determine how the emails disappeared.
