Approximately 90 Flights Linked to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airfields
An investigation has found that approximately 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from British airports, with some reportedly transporting British women who assert they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation identified 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed female passengers were documented among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” stated US lawyers representing numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not received any contact by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met indicated they had “not received any additional evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They commented, “If new and relevant evidence be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the US government in regarding Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of papers are projected to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could disclose case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
