The default in the UK is to be released on bail. The current charges are for leaking documents, and the royals have made it clear they are not going to get in the way. His lawyers would have a field day with the police for not allowing bail, given what he’s currently been charged with.
Hopefully that will change, now the investigation is officially open, but it’s the nature of our legal system.
We also need to make sure we don’t accidentally witch hunt. While I think most of the Epstein files are genuine, there is a possibility of fakes. It would be entirely in his MO to create fake or misleading evidence, when he couldn’t get the real thing. The charges need to be backed by other evidence as well, which takes time to gather.
In terms of old money politics, they’ve thrown him to the wolves.
He’s effectively gotten old fashioned parole (old European, rather than American). If he disappears, everyone will assume they are involved. They won’t want him making them look bad, so will not let him use their resources to flee.

A reminder that they got Al Capone for Tax Evasion. Not the murders and racketeering.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter what someone is arrested for in the end, as long as they see justice one way or another.

Of course lad, that’s going to show him, after how much jail time he’s faced. Oh wait… he’s only facing anything because he got caught publicly.
Pathetic royal dick wranglers.
