Approximately Ninety Flights Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
An investigation has found that nearly 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some reportedly transporting British women who claim they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Travel
The travel manifests were among thousands of legal papers and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the past year. The review found 87 flights linked to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed women were recorded among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys took place following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that individual has never been contacted by British law enforcement, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not been provided with any new evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They added, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public every document held by the US government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of papers are anticipated to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge ordered last week that the department could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
