Close to Ninety Air Travels Associated to Epstein Reportedly Came to or from UK Airfields
Analysis has identified that approximately 90 aircraft journeys connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left British airports, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who allege they were exploited by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Movement
The travel manifests were among thousands of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the past year. The review uncovered 87 flights connected to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed women were listed among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights occurred following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers representing numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that individual has never been contacted by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met stated they had “not received any additional evidence that would support restarting the probe.” They noted, “If new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the US government in regarding Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of papers are anticipated to be released.
Separately, a US judge ruled last week that the department could publicly release case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
