Approximately 90 Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airports
An investigation has found that close to 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some reportedly transporting British women who allege they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Trail of Travel
The flight logs were part of thousands of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the last year. The review uncovered 87 flights connected to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed women were listed among the individuals travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys took place after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that individual has never been contacted by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police said they had “not received any new evidence that would support restarting the probe.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to release all files held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of documents are anticipated to be released.
Separately, a US judge decided last week that the department could make public evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
