Approximately 90 Flights Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
A review has identified that close to 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airports, with some allegedly carrying British women who allege they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were part of a trove of legal papers and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The review found 87 flights linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unidentified female passengers were listed among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys happened following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not received any contact by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They added, “Should new and relevant evidence be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of documents are anticipated to be released.
Additionally, a federal judge decided last week that the department could disclose case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
