Approximately Ninety Flights Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airfields
A review has uncovered that approximately 90 flights linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left British airports, with some reportedly carrying British women who assert they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were among a trove of court documents and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The investigation identified 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified women were documented among the individuals travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” said American attorneys representing numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has not been approached by British law enforcement, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police said they had “not received any further information that would support restarting the probe.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, including any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to release every document held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of documents are anticipated to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge decided last week that the DOJ could publicly release case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
