Close to Ninety Air Travels Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airfields
An investigation has uncovered that close to 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left UK airports, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Travel
The travel manifests were among a trove of court documents and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the previous twelve months. The analysis uncovered 87 flights connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified women were recorded among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys representing 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. Yet, that survivor has not been approached by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not received any new evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public all files held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of documents are projected to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the department could disclose case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
