Approximately 90 Flights Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
An investigation has uncovered that approximately 90 aircraft journeys linked to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who assert they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Pattern of Travel
The travel manifests were among a trove of legal papers and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the last year. The review found 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed women were recorded among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights occurred following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has never been contacted by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the the Met said they had “not received any new information that would support restarting the probe.” They noted, “Should new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, including any arising from the release of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of documents are expected to be released.
Separately, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ could make public case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
