Close to Ninety Flights Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airfields
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left British airports, with some allegedly having onboard British women who claim they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were part of thousands of legal papers and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the past year. The investigation uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified “females” were documented among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that individual has never been contacted by UK authorities, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met said they had “not received any new evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of files are anticipated to be released.
Additionally, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could make public evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
