🔮 In a statement, a Met spokesperson said: “The suspect has previously been interviewed under caution in connection with the allegations. “Detectives remain in close contact with prosecutors as inquiries continue and further investigative work is carried out.” In court hearings in March and May, Brand’s legal team had sought assurances that new charges would not be brought shortly before the trial took place.
