Nearly 90 Flights Connected to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 aircraft journeys linked to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some allegedly transporting British women who allege they were victimized by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Trail of Travel
These aviation records were among thousands of legal papers and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the past year. The investigation identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified female passengers were listed among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has never been contacted by UK authorities, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met said they had “not been provided with any new evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose all files 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 adhere to this requirement. A vast number of documents are expected to be released.
Separately, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could disclose case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
