Nearly Ninety Flights Associated to Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airfields
A review has found that nearly 90 flights connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who allege they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Trail of Travel
The flight logs were part of thousands of legal papers and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The analysis identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified female passengers were listed among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” said US lawyers representing numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has never been contacted by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met indicated they had “not received any additional evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to release all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein was approved by 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 made public.
Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could publicly release evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
