Nearly 90 Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airfields
Analysis has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airports, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who assert they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were part of thousands of legal papers and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the last year. The analysis identified 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed “females” were listed among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has not been approached by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met stated they had “not received any additional information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They noted, “If new and relevant information be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to make public every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of files are anticipated to be released.
Separately, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could disclose case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
