Approximately 90 Air Travels Associated to Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airports
An investigation has uncovered that nearly 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left UK airports, with some allegedly carrying British women who claim they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Travel
The travel manifests were part of a trove of legal papers and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the last year. The review found 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed female passengers were recorded among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has never been contacted by UK authorities, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met stated they had “not received any further evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed 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 anticipated to be released.
Separately, 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 jail term over the charges.
