British detectives are reportedly preparing to travel to the United States to speak with the family of the late Virginia Giuffre as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.
According to the Times, officers from Thames Valley Police plan to meet with members of Giuffre’s family as investigators continue to look into allegations linked to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The former duke was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office in relation to his former role as the UK’s trade envoy.
Since then, the investigation has expanded.
Detectives are now looking at a wider range of potential offenses after expanding their investigation in March to include allegations of corruption and possible sex trafficking offences.
Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers, reached a multimillion-dollar settlement with Andrew in 2022 after filing a civil suit accusing him of sexually assaulting her when she was 17.
Andrew repeatedly denied the allegations and the settlement included no admission of liability or wrongdoing.
The latest reports come as Giuffre’s brother Sky Roberts revealed the family is “actively working” to have the Duke of York appear before a formal parliamentary hearing, saying they remain committed to seeking greater accountability.
