Close to Ninety Air Travels Connected to Epstein Reportedly Came to or from UK Airports
A review has uncovered that approximately 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from UK airports, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who claim they were exploited by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were part of thousands of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the past year. The review identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified “females” were listed among the individuals travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not received any contact by British law enforcement, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not received any further evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, including any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose 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 follow through. Hundreds of thousands of papers are anticipated to be released.
Separately, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ could make public evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
