Nearly Ninety Flights Associated to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
Analysis has found that close to 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airfields, with some reportedly transporting British women who claim they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were part of a trove of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The analysis found 87 flights tied to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified women were listed among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not been approached by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not received any further evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to make public every document held by the American government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of documents are anticipated to be made public.
In a related development, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ could make public investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
