Close to 90 Flights Linked to Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airfields
Analysis has found that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some allegedly having onboard British women who assert they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Travel
These aviation records were part of a trove of court documents and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The investigation uncovered 87 flights connected to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified “females” were recorded among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” stated US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that individual has not received any contact by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not been provided with any new information that would support restarting the investigation.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, including any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
A bill to disclose all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of papers are projected to be released.
In a related development, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
