The searches occurred in February following his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his ties with Jeffrey Epstein. While the police acknowledge a significant error in the warrant application, the investigation into allegations that he shared sensitive information with Epstein continues. Andrew, who was stripped of his royal titles by King Charles III, was questioned for 11 hours in February and remains under investigation without being charged or exonerated.
