Approximately Ninety Air Travels Linked to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airfields
Analysis has uncovered that approximately 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some allegedly having onboard British women who claim they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Travel
The travel manifests were among a trove of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The review identified 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified women were listed among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a minor.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” said US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not been approached by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not received any new information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They commented, “Should fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose 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. A vast number of papers are anticipated to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge ruled last week that the DOJ could make public case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
