Nearly 90 Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
A review has uncovered that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airports, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who allege they were victimized by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were among a trove of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The analysis uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – 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. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a minor.
“This is ‘shocking’ 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.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony 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. Yet, that individual has never been contacted by British law enforcement, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not been provided with any additional evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They noted, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of papers are expected to be released.
Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could make public evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
