Close to Ninety Flights Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
Analysis has identified that approximately 90 aircraft journeys linked to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from UK airports, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were part of a trove of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the past year. The analysis found 87 flights tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed female passengers were recorded among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” said American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has never been contacted by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police said they had “not been provided with any new evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to release all files held by the US government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of documents are projected to be released.
Additionally, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ could disclose investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
