Close to Ninety Flights Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airfields
Analysis has uncovered that approximately 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airports, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who allege they were victimized by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Movement
The travel manifests were part of thousands of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the past year. The review found 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified female passengers were recorded among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that individual has never been contacted by police in the UK, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not received any further information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They commented, “If new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of files are expected to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could disclose evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
