Nearly 90 Air Travels Connected to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
A review has uncovered that approximately 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from British airports, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who assert they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests 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 uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed “females” were recorded among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has never been contacted by UK authorities, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not received any further evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to release all files held by the US government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of files are anticipated to be released.
In a related development, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could make public investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
