Approximately 90 Air Travels Linked to Epstein Allegedly Came to or from British Airfields
A review has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from UK airports, with some allegedly carrying British women who allege they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were part of a trove of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the last year. The review uncovered 87 flights linked to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed female passengers were recorded among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” said US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not received any contact by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the Metropolitan police said they had “not been provided with any further information that would support restarting the probe.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of papers are anticipated to be released.
Additionally, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could make public case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
