Approximately Ninety Flights Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
A review has uncovered that approximately 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left UK airports, with some allegedly transporting women from the UK who allege they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Trail of Movement
The travel manifests were among a trove of legal papers and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The analysis identified 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed “females” were documented among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not received any contact by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the Metropolitan police said they had “not received any additional information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, including any arising from the release of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of documents are anticipated to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge decided last week that the DOJ could publicly release case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
