Close to 90 Flights Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
A review has uncovered that approximately 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some allegedly having onboard British women who allege they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were part of a trove of legal papers and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the last year. The investigation identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified women were documented among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys happened after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” said US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has never been contacted by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not been provided with any new evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose every document held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of documents are anticipated to be released.
Separately, a federal judge decided last week that the DOJ could publicly release investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
