Close to Ninety Flights Associated to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
Analysis has identified that approximately 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from UK airfields, with some allegedly carrying British women who allege they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Travel
The travel manifests were part of thousands of legal papers and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The investigation found 87 flights connected 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 After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed “females” were listed among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has never been contacted by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not been provided with any additional evidence that would support reopening the inquiry.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of documents are projected to be released.
Separately, a US judge ruled last week that the department could disclose investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
