Nearly 90 Flights Linked to Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
A review has identified that approximately 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from British airports, with some reportedly carrying British women who claim they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Travel
The flight logs were part of a trove of legal papers and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The review uncovered 87 flights tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified “females” were documented among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” stated US lawyers representing numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has never been contacted by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police said they had “not received any further evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
A bill to release 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 expected to be made public.
In a related development, a US judge ordered last week that the department could make public evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
