Close to Ninety Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airports
A review has identified that close to 90 flights connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left UK airfields, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who allege they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were among thousands of legal papers and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the past year. The review identified 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed female passengers were listed among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” remarked US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that individual has never been contacted by UK authorities, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the Metropolitan police said they had “not received any new evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They added, “If new and relevant information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of papers are projected to be released.
Additionally, a federal judge decided last week that the DOJ could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
