Close to Ninety Flights Associated to Epstein Reportedly Came to or from UK Airports
Analysis has uncovered that nearly 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from British airfields, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who claim they were exploited by the convicted sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were among a trove of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the past year. The review found 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified female passengers were recorded among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys happened after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that individual has not received any contact by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not received any further information that would support restarting the probe.” They noted, “Should new and relevant evidence be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the US government in relation to Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of papers are projected to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could make public evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
