Close to 90 Air Travels Associated to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
An investigation has uncovered that approximately 90 flights connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airfields, with some reportedly transporting British women who assert they were exploited by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were among a trove of legal papers and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the last year. The analysis identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed female passengers were documented among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not received any additional information that would support reopening the probe.” They noted, “If new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting 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 American government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of files are anticipated to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge ruled last week that the department could make public evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
