Nearly Ninety Flights Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airports
Analysis has found that nearly 90 flights connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from British airports, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who allege they were victimized by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Trail of Travel
These aviation records were part of thousands of legal papers and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the last year. The analysis uncovered 87 flights linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified “females” were recorded among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not been approached by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met indicated they had “not received any additional evidence that would support reopening the inquiry.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the US government in regarding 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 files are expected to be made public.
Separately, a federal judge decided last week that the DOJ could make public case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
