Close to 90 Flights Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airports
Analysis has found that nearly 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who allege they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Trail of Movement
These aviation records were among thousands of legal papers and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation uncovered 87 flights tied to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed “females” were documented among the individuals travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” said US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that individual has never been contacted by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the Metropolitan police said they had “not been provided with any further information that would support restarting the investigation.” They added, “Should new and relevant evidence be presented to us, including any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of files are anticipated to be released.
Additionally, a federal judge decided last week that the DOJ could make public evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
