Nearly 90 Flights Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
Analysis has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left British airfields, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who allege they were victimized by the convicted sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were among thousands of legal papers and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The analysis identified 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights
Unidentified women were listed among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has never been contacted by UK authorities, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not been provided with any new information that would support reopening the probe.” They added, “Should new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to release every document held by the US government in relation to 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 expected to be made public.
Separately, a federal judge ruled last week that the DOJ could disclose case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
