Close to Ninety Flights Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
Analysis has found that nearly 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left British airports, with some allegedly transporting women from the UK who claim they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were part of thousands of legal papers and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the past year. The review identified 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed “females” were recorded among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” remarked US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not received any contact by police in the UK, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not been provided with any further information that would support restarting the probe.” They added, “Should new and relevant information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to release every document 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 documents are expected to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could make public case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
