Nearly Ninety Air Travels Linked to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
Analysis has identified that approximately 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from British airports, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were victimized by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were part of a trove of legal papers and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the previous twelve months. The analysis identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified female passengers were recorded among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has not received any contact by UK authorities, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not been provided with any additional information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They added, “Should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to disclose every document held by the American government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of documents are anticipated to be made public.
In a related development, a US judge ruled last week that the department could make public investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
