Nearly Ninety Air Travels Connected to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
A review has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some reportedly carrying British women who claim they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were part of thousands of legal papers and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the past year. The review uncovered 87 flights connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified women were listed among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” stated US lawyers representing numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has not received any contact by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not been provided with any further information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public every document held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of files are expected to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
