Close to Ninety Flights Linked to Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airports
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Travel
The travel manifests were among thousands of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The analysis identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified women were listed among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has not received any contact by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met stated they had “not received any further evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They added, “Should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose 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. Hundreds of thousands of papers are anticipated to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge decided last week that the DOJ could disclose evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
