Nearly Ninety Air Travels Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
An investigation has found that approximately 90 flights connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left UK airports, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who assert they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were among a trove of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the past year. The analysis uncovered 87 flights connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified female passengers were listed among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights happened after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not received any contact by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not received any additional information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the US government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of documents are expected to be made public.
Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could publicly release evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
