Nearly 90 Air Travels Connected to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
A review has found that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from British airfields, with some allegedly carrying British women who assert they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Travel
These aviation records were part of thousands of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The review uncovered 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed female passengers were listed among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has never been contacted by UK authorities, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not been provided with any further information that would support reopening the probe.” They noted, “If new and relevant information be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of documents are anticipated to be released.
Additionally, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could make public evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
