Nearly Ninety Flights Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from UK Airfields
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were victimized by the convicted sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were part of thousands of legal papers and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the last year. The analysis identified 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed women were recorded among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that individual has not received any contact by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met said they had “not been provided with any further information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to release all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of papers are anticipated to be released.
Separately, a federal judge ruled last week that the DOJ could publicly release case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
