Nearly 90 Air Travels Connected to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airfields
An investigation has found that nearly 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from British airports, with some reportedly transporting British women who claim they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were among a trove of court documents and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the past year. The analysis identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed female passengers were recorded among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has not been approached by police in the UK, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not received any additional information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They commented, “Should new and relevant evidence be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to make public all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of papers are anticipated to be released.
In a related development, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
