MeMoMu_HOS_019 FINANCIAL TIMES: PETER MANDELSON SOUGHT HELP FROM JEFFREY EPSTEIN ON SETTING UP ADVISORY FIRM

' A second person with knowledge of the matter told the FT: “Ben said he never had any involvement with him [Epstein]. That’s not true. They met to talk about a business plan in 2010, they founded the company later that year.
/.../
“Ben should be asked questions by the board — asked to explain what was really going on here . . . Ben was Peter’s enabler for 20 years. Peter is under criminal investigation. What did Ben know? He was coordinating inquiries back in 2011 directly with Jeffrey.” '

Peter Mandelson sought advice from Jeffrey Epstein on setting up his advisory firm, Global Counsel, including how to target potential new clients such as the Chinese government.

Email correspondence from 2010 released in the so-called Epstein Files has undermined attempts by Benjamin Wegg-Prosser, Global Counsel’s chief executive and Mandelson’s long-standing right-hand man, to distance the firm, which has advised large companies including JPMorgan, Palantir and Anglo American, from the convicted child sex offender.

Global Counsel’s co-founder Wegg-Prosser met Epstein in New York to discuss the business before the firm’s launch and communicated with him about the pricing of a potential deal with Lazard. Wegg-Prosser also messaged Epstein directly on two separate occasions, including asking for the child sex offender’s mobile number to provide a password for Mandelson’s book manuscript.

Last September, after Mandelson resigned as UK ambassador to the US in the wake of leaked emails showing the extent of his relationship with Epstein after his conviction in 2008, Wegg-Prosser emailed directors of Global Counsel insisting “GC has never had any dealings with Jeffrey Epstein”.

In the message, which the FT has seen, Wegg-Prosser also provided a template email for directors to share with clients, which said: “We wanted to write to reassure you that GC has never had any business dealings or relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in any form.”
