Approximately 90 Air Travels Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airfields
A review has uncovered that approximately 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left UK airports, with some allegedly transporting women from the UK who claim they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were among thousands of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the past year. The investigation found 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified female passengers were listed among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not received any new evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of files are anticipated to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
