Approximately Ninety Air Travels Associated to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from UK airports, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who allege they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were part of a trove of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The review uncovered 87 flights linked to Epstein – including 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 Travel
Unnamed “females” were listed among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights happened following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” said American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, 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 new evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of files are projected to be released.
Separately, a US judge ruled last week that the department could make public investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
