I think there was one email that was sent five minutes after he got it from his advisor. Andrew sent it on to Epstein. So he was obviously using Andrew with the promise of money, which most people, you know, you always think that people that they have, as you said, they wouldn't have wanted in terms of like designer goods and lovely houses and stuff like that.
But he obviously, that greed, sometimes when you have the more money you have, the more you want. So he was obviously manipulating that for information.

A photographer has captured the news image of the year after he snapped Prince Andrew slinking in the back of a car after his arrest. The shamed royal, Seamus Culleton's woes, James Magogateley's cab battle and a 35-year-old shoplifting grandmother all hit the headlines this week. Today I'm talking to Eimear Rabbit about the stories that got our readers talking this week.
I'm Niall Donald and this is Crime World, a podcast from crimeworld.com. So you shouldn't take pleasure in the downfall of somebody else, should you? But when you look at that photograph of Prince Andrew coming out of police custody, it's hard not to have a little warming of your heart, isn't it?
I know. If you didn't know the circumstances, you could say he had a really big night out for his birthday because it was actually his birthday, wasn't it, that he was arrested on? Wow.
It was. But look, it's one of the great press photos of the last couple of years. Like there's sometimes an image, particularly still the image, just captures something. And the way he's slunken down and, you know, he obviously is a particularly slunken down sort of character anyway. Yeah. In what he's been accused of anyway, which he continues to deny. Yeah.
The eyes. Do you remember there used to be some competition, caption this, caption this photo?

Chapter 2: What details surround James 'Mago' Gately's CAB battle?
Yeah, so basically what he's accused of, like Prince Andrew was a useless old son of the Queen, really. I mean, not that any of the others have shown much signs of being particularly useful, but nonetheless, Prince Andrew was a particularly, you know, the Queen was actually meant to be very fond of him.
He was always said that he was her favourite son, wasn't he?
He was, but his role I suppose is because he's not so directly in line with the throne. He was given this job as a trade envoy, which is really a guy that's sent around with diplomatic missions to kind of drum up business for Britain. And what he's accused of is that as part of these delegations, he hears information.
Like in particular, you know, there's a couple of trips, one to Hong Kong, I think, one to Vietnam, and another, interestingly, to Afghanistan, where he's a trade envoy. The British state are over there, they're drumming up business for companies at home. He hears all of this information as part of his job.
I mean, you know, he was actually also in a recently written book, he was, while he was, as an aside, wasn't he meant to have had more than a dozen Thai women wheeled into him on one of these trade envoys to satisfy him. So he was, and I mean, however, I don't know what he was doing as a trade envoy because he's notoriously the most uncharming and unpersonable individual you could come across.
But nonetheless, he obviously had access to this information. And in one occasion, he's accused in Afghanistan in the Helmet Province, which was one of the areas that the British and the Americans fought particularly hard for after in Afghanistan. And obviously, as part after the Americans and the British forces were in there, they attempted to rebuild Afghanistan at times.
And he was sending Jeffrey Epstein in. detailed information about some of the government contracts. I mean, you could say, as you said, it is difficult to prove because I think you have to show intent. But I mean, it's amazing. And it's amazing that he would just email that stuff to that man. This is post his conviction and everything.
Yeah, but it's kind of, has he always been sort of known to be, it's just a blatant arrogance, you know.
Well, it's also the shocking greed of Andrew and his wife. I mean, they seemed to be desperate for money. I don't know how they were desperate for money. I mean, they weren't desperate for money that they couldn't afford, you know, a bag of chips and a battered sausage, but they seem to have been desperate to grab money off people. Maybe it's,

Chapter 3: How has Prince Andrew's image changed after his arrest?
It was said in court that she's a 35-year-old woman and it was said in court that She has a four-month-old grandson that she's trying to change her life for. She is a mother of three as well. So I suppose she is trying to get help and her defence was saying she recognises the error of her ways.
Now, I mean, one of the reasons, obviously, that it did become... you know, people really paid attention to it because, of course, she is described, the court hears how she's a grandmother.
Yeah.
She's 35.
Yeah, exactly. I was trying to say it more like, I was trying not to be as blatant about it there.
I mean, that's what it is. Yeah. She's quite like, she's, you know, she's sort of a baby face looking within reason for 35. So, I mean, she is. It is incredible. Actually, I think then for Christy, the sprinter, you're an athletics fan. I think he was won a medal at the Olympics when he was 36 and he was a grandfather.
I heard you say that, that's very, very young, 36 is really young.
I mean, now, if you look at that sentence, right, what she was basically given, was it a one year sentence suspended for a period of three years?
Yeah, so he was kind of saying like your last chance you'll go to jail. She has done spells in jail now and then she's done, you know, a lot of community service as well. But yeah, she was given a suspended sentence.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of Prince Andrew leaking confidential information?
And it was actually a story you found that we're publishing today on another Irish man. He was in a long-term relationship with... with a American citizen and they bought this, you know, and he seemed to kind of be in funding it because he had a really good job. So they bought this really nice house. I think it was worth four million in America.
In New York. In New York, yeah. A fancy sort of apartment. Yeah. Rebecca, you know.
Exactly. And a really, really swanky neighborhood. And They were together for like 20 years, but essentially they started to have issues and decided to break up. And he thought they'd come to an agreement, but basically your man called Iceland and said, this guy is illegal. And he was detained for 10 days and then self-deported.
And the reason it's come up now is because he's suing him, basically saying that I bankrolled that property, which he's saying is his. So, you know, but he had to just leave and he's back in Ireland now. And he was in America for 20 years. So it has been happening, you know, a lot behind the headlines, obviously.
It has. Well, it'll be a media circus if he does land in Ireland. And not that we are adverse to media circuses.
No, that's how we have our own homes, I'd say.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Okay. Thanks, Eimear.
