Approximately Ninety Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
A review has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from British airfields, with some allegedly transporting British women who assert they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Trail of Travel
The travel manifests were among thousands of legal papers and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the last year. The investigation uncovered 87 flights linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights
Unidentified women were recorded among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights happened following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” stated American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
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. However, that victim has never been contacted by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not received any additional evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, including any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of papers are anticipated to be made public.
Separately, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could disclose evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
