Nearly Ninety Air Travels Linked to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
Analysis has found that nearly 90 aircraft journeys linked to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from UK airfields, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who allege they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were part of a trove of legal papers and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the past year. The review found 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified women were recorded among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights happened after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not been approached by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the the Met indicated they had “not been provided with any additional information that would support restarting the probe.” They commented, “Should new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to make public all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of files are expected to be released.
Additionally, a federal judge decided last week that the DOJ could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
