Nearly 90 Air Travels Associated to Epstein Allegedly Came to or from British Airports
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left British airports, with some allegedly transporting British women who assert they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Movement
The flight logs were part of a trove of legal papers and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the past year. 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.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified “females” were listed among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys took place following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not been approached by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met indicated they had “not been provided with any further information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public 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 follow through. Hundreds of thousands of documents are anticipated to be made public.
Separately, a federal judge ruled last week that the DOJ could publicly release case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
