Close to 90 Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
Analysis has identified that close to 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from UK airports, with some allegedly having onboard British women who allege they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were part of a trove of legal papers and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the last year. The review identified 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed female passengers were listed among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights occurred following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” stated American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not been approached by UK authorities, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not received any further evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to release all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of documents are anticipated to be released.
Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the department could publicly release investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
