Approximately Ninety Flights Connected to Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airfields
An investigation has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from British airfields, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were among a trove of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The analysis found 87 flights tied to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified female passengers were listed among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” said US lawyers representing numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not received any contact by police in the UK, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not received any new evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They noted, “If new and relevant information be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose 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 comply. Hundreds of thousands of papers are projected to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could publicly release investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
