Close to 90 Flights Connected to Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airports
Analysis has uncovered that approximately 90 aircraft journeys connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from British airfields, with some allegedly carrying British women who claim they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were among thousands of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the past year. The review found 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified “females” were recorded among the individuals travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys took place following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not been approached by police in the UK, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met stated they had “not received any additional information that would support reopening the probe.” They added, “If new and relevant information be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to make public every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of files are expected to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could publicly release case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
