Approximately Ninety Air Travels Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
Analysis has uncovered that nearly 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left UK airfields, with some allegedly transporting women from the UK who claim they were exploited by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were part of thousands of legal papers and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the past year. The investigation identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed “females” were listed among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights took place following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” stated US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not been approached by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met said they had “not received any further information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They added, “Should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to release every document held by the US government in regarding Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of documents are projected to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could publicly release case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
