Nearly 90 Air Travels Linked to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
Analysis has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from British airports, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who assert they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Trail of Travel
The flight logs were part of thousands of court documents and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The review identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified female passengers were listed among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has not been approached by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of documents are expected to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could disclose evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
