Approximately 90 Air Travels Connected to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
An investigation has uncovered that close to 90 flights connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who allege they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Trail of Travel
The flight logs were among a trove of legal papers and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the previous twelve months. The analysis found 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed “females” were documented among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not been approached by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not been provided with any further information that would support reopening the probe.” They commented, “Should fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of documents are anticipated to be made public.
Separately, a US judge decided last week that the department could publicly release case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
