Close to 90 Flights Linked to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
Analysis has identified that close to 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left British airports, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who claim they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Pattern of Travel
The travel manifests were among thousands of court documents and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the past year. The investigation uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed female passengers were listed among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that victim has never been contacted by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the the Met indicated they had “not received any new information that would support restarting the investigation.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of files are anticipated to be made public.
In a related development, a US judge ruled last week that the department could make public investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
