Approximately 90 Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
An investigation has uncovered that approximately 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from British airports, with some reportedly having onboard British women who allege they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were among thousands of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the last year. The analysis identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified “females” were documented among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not been approached by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not been provided with any new information that would support restarting the probe.” They commented, “Should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to release every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of papers are anticipated to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could publicly release investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
