Nearly 90 Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
A review has found that close to 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left British airports, with some reportedly transporting British women who claim they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Movement
These aviation records were among thousands of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The analysis identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed women were listed among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not received any contact by British law enforcement, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not received any additional information that would support restarting the investigation.” They noted, “Should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of papers are expected to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could make public case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
