Approximately Ninety Flights Connected to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
A review has found that approximately 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from British airfields, with some allegedly transporting British women who assert they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Movement
These aviation records were among a trove of court documents and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The investigation identified 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed “females” were recorded among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not received any contact by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support restarting the probe.” They commented, “Should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public every document held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of papers are anticipated to be released.
Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
