Approximately 90 Air Travels Connected to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airfields
A review has uncovered that close to 90 flights linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left UK airports, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Trail of Travel
These aviation records were among a trove of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the last year. The analysis identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified “females” were listed among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has not received any contact by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police said they had “not received any further evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of files are projected to be made public.
Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could make public evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
