Close to 90 Flights Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from UK Airfields
A review has uncovered that approximately 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airports, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who allege they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were part of thousands of legal papers and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The analysis uncovered 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified women were listed among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not been approached by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not received any new evidence that would support reopening the inquiry.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to release every document held by the American government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of files are expected to be released.
Separately, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
