Approximately Ninety Flights Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
A review has identified that approximately 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who assert they were exploited by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were part of a trove of legal papers and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the last year. The review found 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed female passengers were documented among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” said American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors 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. However, that victim has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not received any further information that would support restarting the investigation.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of files are expected to be made public.
Additionally, 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.
