Nearly 90 Flights Associated to Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airfields
Analysis has found that nearly 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some allegedly transporting British women who assert they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were part of thousands of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the past year. The investigation uncovered 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unidentified women were recorded among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys happened following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that victim has never been contacted by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not been provided with any further information that would support restarting the investigation.” They added, “Should new and relevant evidence be presented to us, including any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose every document held by the US government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of files are anticipated to be released.
Separately, a federal judge ruled last week that the DOJ could disclose case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
