Approximately 90 Air Travels Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
A review has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left UK airfields, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were among a trove of legal papers and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The investigation found 87 flights connected to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed female passengers were listed among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” said US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that victim has never been contacted by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met indicated they had “not received any further evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They commented, “Should new and relevant evidence be presented to us, including any arising from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
A bill to release all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of files are projected to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the department could publicly release case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
