Close to Ninety Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airports
A review has found that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left British airfields, with some allegedly having onboard British women who allege they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were part of a trove of court documents and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the past year. The review identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified “females” were recorded among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” said US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not received any contact by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not been provided with any new information that would support restarting the probe.” They commented, “Should new and relevant evidence be presented to us, including any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of documents are projected to be released.
Separately, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could make public evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
