Approximately 90 Flights Linked to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 flights linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from British airfields, with some allegedly transporting women from the UK who assert they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Trail of Movement
The travel manifests were among thousands of legal papers and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the past 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 early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed “females” were listed among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” said US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that individual has not been approached by police in the UK, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met stated they had “not been provided with any further information that would support restarting the probe.” They added, “Should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of papers are anticipated to be released.
Separately, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ could publicly release case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
