Nearly 90 Air Travels Linked to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left British airfields, with some allegedly transporting women from the UK who allege they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were part of thousands of legal papers and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the last year. The analysis uncovered 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed “females” were documented among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not been approached by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police said they had “not been provided with any further information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the American government in concerning Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of documents are expected to be made public.
Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
