Close to Ninety Air Travels Connected to Epstein Reportedly Came to or from UK Airports
Analysis has identified that approximately 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left British airports, with some allegedly transporting British women who assert they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Trail of Travel
The travel manifests were among a trove of legal papers and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The review uncovered 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unidentified women were listed among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights took place following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” remarked US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that individual has not received any contact by police in the UK, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not received any new information that would support restarting the investigation.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
A bill to release every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of files are projected to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge ruled last week that the DOJ could disclose case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
