Approximately Ninety Flights Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
A review has uncovered that approximately 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some reportedly transporting British women who assert they were victimized by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were part of thousands of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the past year. The analysis identified 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed female passengers were listed among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not been approached by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not been provided with any further information that would support reopening the investigation.” They added, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the US government in regarding Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of files are anticipated to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could make public case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
