Close to 90 Flights Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Came to or from UK Airports
A review has identified that approximately 90 flights linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airports, with some allegedly transporting British women who allege they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were part of thousands of legal papers and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the last year. The review found 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – including 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 women were listed among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys happened following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” stated American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not received any contact by police in the UK, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police said they had “not been provided with any new evidence that would support reopening the inquiry.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose all files held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of documents are expected to be released.
Separately, a US judge ruled last week that the department could disclose case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
