Close to Ninety Air Travels Associated to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
Analysis has uncovered that nearly 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from British airports, with some allegedly carrying British women who claim they were exploited by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Movement
These aviation records were part of thousands of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the last year. The review identified 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed “females” were recorded among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has not received any contact by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met indicated they had “not been provided with any further information that would support reopening the investigation.” They commented, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of papers are anticipated to be made public.
In a related development, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release 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.
