Nearly Ninety Flights Connected to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
Analysis has found that approximately 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who allege they were exploited by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Trail of Travel
The flight logs were part of a trove of legal papers and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the past year. The analysis identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed female passengers were recorded among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that individual has not been approached by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not been provided with any new evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public all files held by the American government in regarding 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 anticipated to be released.
Additionally, a federal judge decided last week that the DOJ could disclose case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
