Approximately Ninety Flights Connected to Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
Analysis has uncovered that nearly 90 flights linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left UK airfields, with some allegedly transporting British women who claim they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the last year. The investigation uncovered 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified female passengers were recorded among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” said American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Testimony 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. However, that victim has not received any contact by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met stated they had “not received any additional evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
A bill to disclose every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of documents are expected to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge ordered last week that the department could disclose case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
