Neil launches libel case against Arcuri over tweets

Court records show Mr Neil, 72, filed a claim against Ms Arcuri on Wednesday as he followed through on threatened legal action following a heated exchange in December in which Ms Arcuri made allegations about his name being in an address book owned by the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In the row, which is understood to have started over a disagreement about the effectiveness of Covid vaccines, Ms Arcuri ultimately accused Mr Neil of being a “paid for pharma puppet” and “on the pedo elite train”, according to now-deleted tweets.
