Approximately Ninety Flights Linked to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
Analysis has uncovered that nearly 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from British airports, with some allegedly transporting women from the UK who claim they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Trail of Movement
These aviation records were among thousands of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the past year. The review uncovered 87 flights tied to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights
Unidentified women were listed among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” said American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has not been approached by UK authorities, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the Metropolitan police said they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They commented, “Should fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the US government in regarding Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of papers are expected to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge decided last week that the department could publicly release 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.
