Close to Ninety Flights Linked to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
Analysis has found that approximately 90 flights linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airports, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who allege they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Movement
The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The analysis uncovered 87 flights tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified women were documented among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights took place following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys representing numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not received any contact by police in the UK, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not been provided with any further information that would support restarting the investigation.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the release of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of papers are projected to be released.
In a related development, a US judge ordered last week that the department could make public case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
