Nearly Ninety Air Travels Associated to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airfields
Analysis has found that approximately 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from UK airports, with some reportedly carrying British women who claim they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were part of thousands of court documents and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the last year. The review found 87 flights connected to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed female passengers were documented among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys happened after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
A statement 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. Yet, that victim has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not received any additional information that would support reopening the probe.” They commented, “Should new and relevant evidence be presented to us, including any resulting from the disclosure of material 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 relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of documents are anticipated to be released.
Additionally, a US judge ordered last week that the department could disclose investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
