Close to Ninety Air Travels Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
An investigation has identified that close to 90 aircraft journeys linked to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from British airports, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were exploited by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were part of a trove of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The review uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified women were listed among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has never been contacted by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not received any additional information that would support restarting the probe.” They commented, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of papers are projected to be made public.
Separately, a US judge decided last week that the department could disclose evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
