Close to 90 Flights Linked to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airfields
Analysis has identified that approximately 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from British airports, with some reportedly having onboard British women who claim they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the past year. The analysis uncovered 87 flights connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified “females” were documented among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys happened after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a minor.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” said American attorneys representing numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not been approached by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not received any further information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to release every document held by the American government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of documents are projected to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could make public investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
