Nearly Ninety Flights Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
An investigation has found that approximately 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some reportedly carrying British women who claim they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Travel
The flight logs were part of a trove of legal papers and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the last year. The analysis uncovered 87 flights linked to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified “females” were recorded among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” said US lawyers representing numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has never been contacted by police in the UK, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not received any additional information that would support restarting the probe.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public every document held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of files are expected to be released.
Separately, a federal judge ruled last week that the DOJ could publicly release investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
