Approximately Ninety Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from UK Airports
An investigation has identified that approximately 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from British airports, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who claim they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Travel
The travel manifests were among thousands of legal papers and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation uncovered 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed women were listed among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys happened after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the the Met indicated they had “not been provided with any further information that would support restarting the probe.” They added, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of files are expected to be released.
Separately, a US judge decided last week that the department could disclose investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
