Approximately Ninety Air Travels Linked to Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airfields
Analysis has identified that close to 90 flights connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from UK airports, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were exploited by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Travel
The travel manifests were among a trove of legal papers and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The review uncovered 87 flights connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed women were recorded among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” said US lawyers representing numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not been approached by police in the UK, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support reopening the inquiry.” They noted, “Should new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public every document 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 follow through. A vast number of files are projected to be released.
In a related development, a US judge ruled last week that the department could publicly release investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
