Approximately Ninety Flights Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Came to or from British Airports
Analysis has identified that close to 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Travel
The travel manifests were part of a trove of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the last year. The review identified 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed “females” were documented among the travelers 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 minor.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” said US lawyers representing numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement 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 never been contacted by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met stated they had “not received any further information that would support reopening 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 evaluate it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public every document held by the US government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of papers are anticipated to be made public.
Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
