Approximately Ninety Air Travels Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from UK Airports
An investigation has found that approximately 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from British airfields, with some allegedly transporting British women who allege they were victimized by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Travel
The flight logs were among a trove of legal papers and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The review identified 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed female passengers were listed among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights occurred after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that victim has never been contacted by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the the Met indicated they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of papers are expected to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge decided last week that the department could publicly release evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
