Approximately Ninety Flights Connected to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
Analysis has uncovered that nearly 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from UK airports, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who assert they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were part of a trove of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the past year. The review identified 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified women were documented among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has not received any contact by British law enforcement, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not received any further information that would support restarting the probe.” 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 review it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public 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 files are anticipated to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could disclose case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
