.....allegedly owing around 4.5 million.

I wonder if all his rich and influential friends will rally round for him wink

Until September when M was sacked there was no real suspicion in the new year clients gradually realized the extent his involvement with Epstein. Despite him withdrawing the company was still tainted

The big name clients like Tesco and BP began to cancel contracts, until most/all had left, with no money coming in the company had no alternative but to close, any assets were worthless.

I'm aware that HMRC can go back further , especially if there is a thought that fraud was involved but i still don't see why there is so much interest in the one bankrupt company when the other is still trading with Mandelson as a director . No mention of that firm
whatever the truth is - it appears that Epstein (even in death) is still the most powerful man in the world .

Wy should there be any mention of the company that he is still director of.

Many criminals run legal and iilegal companiesat the same time or serially. I am not saying that Mandelson is a criminal or ran his companies illegally, but running a company legally does not preclude being involve in dodgy enterprises.

Because he is a prominent person in the company who has been associated in the most disreputable behavior, and proved to have long running association with Epstein

That friendship was enough to have him sacked as ambassador, I would want my business associates to be people with personal integrity as I would of polititians.

Global made a profit in 2024 and Mandelson resigned as a director in 2024 so it is unclear to what happened . Either way it is not clear as to why the story is in the news .

Because while he was a director of Global he had contacts with Russia and China.

I can see why Blair liked Mandelson so much: they were anywhere to make a couple of million by whatever means necessary.
