Close to Ninety Air Travels Connected to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airfields
An investigation has uncovered that nearly 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some allegedly carrying British women who assert they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Trail of Travel
The flight logs were among a trove of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The analysis identified 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed women were listed among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not received any contact by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met indicated they had “not been provided with any additional information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They added, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose all files 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. Hundreds of thousands of files are expected to be released.
Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
