Approximately 90 Flights Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airports
A review has identified that approximately 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from British airports, with some reportedly having onboard British women who claim they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Trail of Movement
The travel manifests were among a trove of court documents and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the last year. The analysis identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed women were recorded among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights occurred after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” said US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has not been approached by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not received any additional evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They noted, “If new and relevant evidence be presented to us, including any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public every document held by the US government in concerning Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of documents are projected to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could make public case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
