An investigation into Prince Andrew’s friendship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein has been ‘parked’ by the FBI, insiders have claimed.
Agents and attorneys are said to be ‘beyond frustrated’ at having to shelve the probe, a source says.
It is understood that ‘no new leads have been found for quite some time’ and the FBI’s investigation into the Duke of York will not proceed until ‘new evidence is presented that can move the case forward’.
A source close to the case told the Mirror: ‘The agents and attorneys who have, for years, worked diligently looking into Andrew’s friendship with Epstein are beyond frustrated.
‘They’re angry that the probe has been parked.’
Epstein’s victims last night blasted the move as a ‘systematic cover-up’ as one said they ‘knew this day would one day come’.
It is claimed investigators’ time spent on the case has dwindled in the last year with resources now being diverted to work on the high profile case against hip-hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

A second source confirmed ‘right now, resources are going elsewhere’ with it said the investigation into Andrew is at an ‘impasse’.
