Close to Ninety Air Travels Connected to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
Analysis has identified that approximately 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from British airports, with some allegedly having onboard British women who assert they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Trail of Travel
These aviation records were among thousands of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the past year. The review identified 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified “females” were listed among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not been approached by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not received any further information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They commented, “Should new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public all files 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 comply. Hundreds of thousands of papers are expected to be made public.
In a related development, a US judge ordered last week that the department could publicly release case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
