Nearly Ninety Air Travels Connected to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
An investigation has uncovered that nearly 90 aircraft journeys linked to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left British airfields, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Movement
The flight logs were part of thousands of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the last year. The investigation identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed female passengers were documented among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” said US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not been approached by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the the Met said they had “not received any further evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose 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 adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of files are projected to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
