Close to 90 Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left UK airports, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who claim they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Trail of Travel
The travel manifests were among thousands of legal papers and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed women were recorded among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights occurred following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that individual has not received any contact by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not received any new evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They commented, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose all files held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of files are projected to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the department could publicly release evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
