Approximately 90 Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Came to or from UK Airfields
Analysis has identified that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Travel
The travel manifests were among a trove of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The investigation uncovered 87 flights tied to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified female passengers were recorded among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not been approached by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not been provided with any new information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, including any arising from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to release all files held by the US government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of papers are expected to be made public.
In a related development, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could disclose investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
