Approximately Ninety Air Travels Associated to Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
A review has identified that approximately 90 flights connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from British airfields, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who allege they were exploited by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were part of thousands of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified female passengers were listed among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a minor.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not been approached by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met said they had “not been provided with any new information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, including any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose every document held by the US government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of documents are expected to be made public.
In a related development, a US judge ruled last week that the department could make public investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
