Approximately Ninety Flights Connected to Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airfields
A review has found that nearly 90 flights linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from UK airfields, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Trail of Movement
The flight logs were among a trove of legal papers and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The review uncovered 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights
Unidentified female passengers were listed among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not received any contact by police in the UK, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police said they had “not been provided with any additional information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to make public every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of files are projected to be released.
Additionally, a federal judge ruled last week that the DOJ could disclose evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
