Approximately 90 Air Travels Associated to Epstein Allegedly Came to or from UK Airfields
An investigation has found that close to 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who allege they were abused by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The review identified 87 flights tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed female passengers were listed among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights occurred after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
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 survivor has never been contacted by British law enforcement, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met stated they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to release every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of documents are anticipated to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge ruled last week that the DOJ could make public investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
