Approximately Ninety Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
An investigation has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some reportedly carrying British women who assert they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were among a trove of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the past year. The analysis identified 87 flights tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed women were recorded among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” said American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not been approached by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not received any new evidence that would support reopening the inquiry.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, including any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to release all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of files are expected to be released.
Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could publicly release evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
