Close to 90 Air Travels Connected to Epstein Allegedly Came to or from UK Airfields
A review has identified that approximately 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who allege they were abused by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the last year. The analysis found 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed female passengers were recorded among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” stated US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not been approached by British law enforcement, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not received any further information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They commented, “Should new and relevant information be presented to us, including any arising from the release of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of documents are projected to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could make public evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
