Approximately Ninety Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from UK Airports
Analysis has found that close to 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left UK airports, with some allegedly carrying British women who allege they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Travel
The flight logs were among a trove of court documents and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the previous twelve months. The review identified 87 flights tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified “females” were recorded among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys happened following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” said US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that individual has never been contacted by police in the UK, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met stated they had “not received any additional evidence that would support reopening the inquiry.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to release all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of files are projected to be released.
Separately, a US judge ruled last week that the department could publicly release case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
