Approximately 90 Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airfields
Analysis has identified that nearly 90 flights connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left UK airports, with some allegedly carrying British women who allege they were victimized by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Trail of Travel
The travel manifests were part of a trove of legal papers and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the past year. The review found 87 flights linked to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified “females” were documented among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not received any contact by UK authorities, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not been provided with any additional evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to release every document 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 adhere to this requirement. A vast number of documents are expected to be released.
Additionally, a US judge ordered last week that the department could make public case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
