Nearly Ninety Flights Connected to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airfields
A review has identified that close to 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some allegedly carrying British women who claim they were victimized by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were among thousands of court documents and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the last year. The analysis found 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified female passengers were recorded among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that individual has never been contacted by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the the Met indicated they had “not received any additional information that would support reopening the investigation.” They commented, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the US government in regarding Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of files are expected to be made public.
In a related development, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ could disclose investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
