Close to 90 Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airfields
A review has identified that approximately 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left UK airfields, with some allegedly carrying British women who assert they were victimized by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Trail of Movement
These aviation records were among a trove of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The analysis found 87 flights tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed female passengers were recorded among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a minor.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that individual has not been approached by UK authorities, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met said they had “not received any additional information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They noted, “If new and relevant information be presented to us, including any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of papers are projected to be released.
In a related development, a US judge ordered last week that the department could disclose evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
