Close to Ninety Air Travels Associated to Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airports
An investigation has uncovered that approximately 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left UK airports, with some allegedly transporting women from the UK who claim they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Trail of Travel
The flight logs were among thousands of legal papers and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The analysis identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed “females” were listed among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a minor.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not been approached by UK authorities, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not received any additional information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They added, “If new and relevant information be presented to us, including any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of files are projected to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge ruled last week that the DOJ could make public investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
