Nearly 90 Air Travels Linked to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airfields
Analysis has uncovered that nearly 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who allege they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Movement
These aviation records were among a trove of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The review identified 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed women were listed among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a minor.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” remarked US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has not been approached by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not received any additional evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of documents are expected to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge ruled last week that the DOJ could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
