Close to Ninety Air Travels Linked to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airfields
Analysis has found that approximately 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from UK airports, with some allegedly having onboard British women who assert they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were among thousands of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation uncovered 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified female passengers were listed among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that survivor 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 additional information that would support reopening the investigation.” They added, “If new and relevant information be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose 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 follow through. Hundreds of thousands of papers are projected to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge decided last week that the department could publicly release investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
