Close to Ninety Flights Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airports
A review has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys linked to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from UK airports, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who claim they were victimized by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Trail of Movement
The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the last year. The analysis identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified women were documented among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights occurred following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not been approached by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not been provided with any new evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to release all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of files are anticipated to be released.
Additionally, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could make public evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
