Approximately 90 Air Travels Associated to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
A review has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some allegedly carrying British women who allege they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Trail of Movement
The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the past year. The review found 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed “females” were documented among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys happened following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has never been contacted by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not received any new information that would support restarting the investigation.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, including any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of papers are expected to be released.
In a related development, a US judge decided last week that the department could make public case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
