Approximately 90 Flights Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
An investigation has found that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left UK airfields, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who claim they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Travel
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 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified women were recorded among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights happened after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” said American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
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. However, that survivor has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met indicated they had “not received any additional information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of papers are projected to be released.
In a related development, a US judge ordered last week that the department could disclose case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
