Giuffre continues: “Prince Andrew should take it seriously that nobody is above the law.” The palace has not yet commented. A source said to “Daily Mail”: “The Duke’s lawyers are taking care of the matter.” The lawyer Jack Scarola, who also represents Giuffre, says to “The Sun”: “It is obvious that Prince Andrew is working on a model of the Non-cooperation that has been going on for years. I would think he should acknowledge his moral obligation and help find the truth. “Jeffrey Epstein’s victims would expect” nothing else. “

Prince Andrew himself is accused of sexual harassment and spent a lot of time with Epstein. It is time to stop playing, do the right thing and answer questions. »
