Close to 90 Air Travels Associated to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
An investigation has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who allege they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Travel
The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The analysis uncovered 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified “females” were recorded among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” said US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that individual has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met said they had “not received any further information that would support restarting the investigation.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to release every document held by the US government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of papers are projected to be made public.
Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could make public case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
