Close to Ninety Flights Connected to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airports
A review has found that nearly 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some allegedly transporting women from the UK who claim they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were among a trove of legal papers and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation found 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed female passengers were documented among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that individual has never been contacted by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met stated they had “not been provided with any additional information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They noted, “Should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
A bill to disclose every document held by the American government in concerning 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 files are anticipated to be released.
Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could disclose case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
