Close to 90 Flights Associated to Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
Analysis has uncovered that approximately 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left British airfields, with some reportedly carrying British women who allege they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were part of a trove of legal papers and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the last year. The review uncovered 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed female passengers were recorded among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place subsequent to 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 activities in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not been approached by police in the UK, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met indicated they had “not received any new information that would support reopening the investigation.” They commented, “Should new and relevant information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of papers are expected to be made public.
In a related development, a US judge ruled last week that the department could publicly release investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
