Nearly 90 Air Travels Associated to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
Analysis has uncovered that approximately 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left UK airports, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who assert they were victimized by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were part of a trove of legal papers and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the past year. The investigation uncovered 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified “females” were recorded among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights happened after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” said American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not received any contact by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not received any further information that would support reopening the inquiry.” 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 evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public every document held by the US government in regarding Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of files are expected to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could make public case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
