Approximately Ninety Flights Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
A review has found that approximately 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were among thousands of legal papers and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The investigation identified 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed women were documented among the individuals travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not received any contact by UK authorities, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the Metropolitan police said they had “not received any further information that would support reopening the investigation.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the US government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of papers are projected to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the department could make public investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
