Approximately 90 Flights Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from UK Airports
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some allegedly having onboard British women who allege they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were among thousands of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the last year. The investigation identified 87 flights tied to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified “females” were listed among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not been approached by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not been provided with any new evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of papers are expected to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the department could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
