Nearly 90 Air Travels Linked to Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airports
Analysis has identified that approximately 90 flights connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left UK airfields, with some reportedly transporting British women who assert they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were part of a trove of legal papers and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The analysis uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed female passengers were recorded among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that victim has never been contacted by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met indicated they had “not been provided with any new evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They added, “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 Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to release all files held by the US government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of papers are expected to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could publicly release case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
