Approximately Ninety Air Travels Associated to Epstein Reportedly Came to or from UK Airports
An investigation has uncovered that close to 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left UK airports, with some allegedly having onboard British women who claim they were victimized by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Movement
The travel manifests were among a trove of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the past year. The review uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed “females” were documented among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has never been contacted by police in the UK, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police said they had “not received any new evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They commented, “If new and relevant information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of papers are anticipated to be made public.
In a related development, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could disclose case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
