Close to 90 Flights Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Came to or from UK Airports
An investigation has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from British airports, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Trail of Movement
These aviation records were part of thousands of court documents and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the last year. The review identified 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified “females” were recorded among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys happened after 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 dealings in the country,” remarked US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not been approached by police in the UK, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met indicated they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public every document held by the US government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of papers are anticipated to be released.
Additionally, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could make public evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
