Nearly Ninety Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airfields
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left UK airfields, with some reportedly having onboard British women who claim they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were among a trove of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the last year. The review identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified “females” were documented among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” said American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not received any contact by UK authorities, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to release all files held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of papers are projected to be made public.
Separately, a US judge decided last week that the department could make public case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
