Close to 90 Air Travels Associated to Epstein Allegedly Came to or from British Airfields
Analysis has found that nearly 90 flights connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airports, with some reportedly having onboard British women who assert they were abused by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Trail of Travel
The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the last year. The review uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed “females” were listed among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights took place following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has never been contacted by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not received any new evidence that would support restarting the probe.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to release every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of documents are projected to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge decided last week that the department could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
