Approximately 90 Air Travels Linked to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airports, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were among a trove of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the last year. The analysis uncovered 87 flights connected to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified women were documented among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” stated US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice 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 attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not been provided with any new information that would support reopening the investigation.” They added, “If new and relevant information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to release every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of files are anticipated to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could make public investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
