Close to Ninety Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Came to or from UK Airports
An investigation has uncovered that approximately 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some reportedly having onboard British women who assert they were victimized by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Trail of Movement
These aviation records were part of thousands of legal papers and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the last year. The investigation uncovered 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed “females” were recorded among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” said US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not received any contact by UK authorities, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not been provided with any new information 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 assess it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of documents are projected to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ could disclose evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
