Approximately Ninety Flights Connected to Epstein Allegedly Came to or from UK Airports
An investigation has found that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some allegedly transporting women from the UK who claim they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were part of thousands of legal papers and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the past year. The review found 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed women were recorded among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not received any contact by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not received any new information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They noted, “If new and relevant evidence be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to make public every document held by the US government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of papers are anticipated to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could disclose investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
