Approximately 90 Flights Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
An investigation has found that approximately 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left British airfields, with some allegedly transporting British women who claim they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Trail of Movement
The travel manifests were part of thousands of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the last year. The analysis identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed female passengers were listed among the individuals travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that victim has never been contacted by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not been provided with any additional evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public 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 comply. A vast number of files are expected to be released.
In a related development, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ could publicly release investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
