Nearly 90 Air Travels Linked to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from UK airports, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who allege they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Trail of Travel
The travel manifests were among thousands of court documents and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the past year. The investigation found 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed female passengers were listed among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” said American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has not been approached by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not received any further evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to make public every document held by the US government in regarding Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of files are anticipated to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could disclose investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
