Approximately Ninety Flights Connected to Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airfields
An investigation has identified that approximately 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airfields, with some allegedly transporting British women who claim they were exploited by the convicted sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Trail of Travel
These aviation records were among thousands of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation found 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed “females” were listed among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that victim has never been contacted by UK authorities, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met said they had “not received any further evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They commented, “Should new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
A bill to release every document held by the American government in concerning Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of documents are expected to be released.
Separately, a federal judge decided last week that the DOJ could make public investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
