Nearly 90 Flights Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
An investigation has identified that nearly 90 flights connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who assert they were victimized by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Travel
These aviation records were part of thousands of legal papers and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the past year. The analysis found 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed women were recorded among the individuals travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys took place after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” stated US lawyers representing numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not been approached by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police said they had “not been provided with any additional information that would support restarting the probe.” They added, “Should new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to disclose every document held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of documents are anticipated to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could publicly release evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
