Nearly Ninety Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
Analysis has identified that close to 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Trail of Movement
These aviation records were part of a trove of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the last year. The investigation found 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights
Unidentified female passengers were listed among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has not received any contact by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met said they had “not been provided with any new information that would support restarting the investigation.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to release every document held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of papers are expected to be made public.
In a related development, a US judge decided last week that the department could publicly release investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
