Nearly 90 Air Travels Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airfields
Analysis has identified that close to 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from UK airports, with some allegedly transporting British women who allege they were exploited by the convicted sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were part of a trove of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the last year. The analysis found 87 flights connected to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified “females” were listed among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that individual has never been contacted by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not been provided with any additional evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They commented, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the American 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. Hundreds of thousands of files are projected to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge ruled last week that the DOJ could publicly release investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
