Close to Ninety Air Travels Associated to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
A review has found that nearly 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from British airports, with some reportedly having onboard British women who allege they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were part of a trove of court documents and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the last year. The analysis identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed “females” were recorded among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has never been contacted by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not been provided with any additional evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They noted, “Should new and relevant evidence be presented to us, including any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to release all files held by the US government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of documents are projected to be made public.
Separately, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ could disclose evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
