Close to Ninety Flights Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
Analysis has found that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from British airports, with some allegedly carrying British women who claim they were exploited by the convicted sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were part of thousands of legal papers and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation identified 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified “females” were documented among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has never been contacted by UK authorities, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met stated they had “not been provided with any further information that would support restarting the probe.” They commented, “Should fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to release all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of files are expected to be made public.
In a related development, a US judge ordered last week that the department could disclose investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
