Approximately Ninety Air Travels Connected to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
An investigation has uncovered that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left British airports, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who claim they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Travel
The travel manifests were among a trove of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the last year. The analysis found 87 flights linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed female passengers were documented among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not received any contact by police in the UK, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met said they had “not received any new evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence 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 US government in concerning Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of documents are anticipated to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
