Close to Ninety Flights Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
An investigation has found that approximately 90 aircraft journeys connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from British airports, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who allege they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were part of a trove of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The investigation identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed women were listed among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys happened following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a minor.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not received any contact by UK authorities, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not received any new information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public all files held by the American 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. Hundreds of thousands of files are projected to be made public.
In a related development, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could disclose evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
