Nearly 90 Air Travels Connected to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
Analysis has found that nearly 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left British airfields, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Travel
The travel manifests were among thousands of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The review uncovered 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed “females” were documented among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” remarked US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that individual has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not been provided with any new information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They added, “If new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the American government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of documents are anticipated 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 long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
