Close to Ninety Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Came to or from UK Airports
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from UK airports, with some reportedly transporting British women who assert they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were among a trove of legal papers and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the last year. The review uncovered 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed female passengers were listed among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights took place following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not been approached by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met indicated they had “not received any new evidence that would support restarting the probe.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to release all files 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 anticipated to be made public.
Separately, a US judge ordered last week that the department could disclose case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
