Close to 90 Air Travels Linked to Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
Analysis has uncovered that nearly 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from British airports, with some reportedly carrying British women who claim they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were part of thousands of court documents and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the last year. The analysis identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed “females” were listed among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys happened following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not received any contact by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not received any further evidence that would support reopening the inquiry.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to disclose every document held by the US government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of files are projected to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge decided last week that the department could make public case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
