Nearly Ninety Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Came to or from UK Airfields
A review has found that approximately 90 flights connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who assert they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Pattern of Travel
The travel manifests were part of a trove of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the last year. The review uncovered 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed “females” were listed among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not received any contact by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met indicated they had “not received any additional information that would support reopening the probe.” They commented, “Should new and relevant information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to release all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of documents are expected to be released.
Additionally, a US judge ruled last week that the department could disclose evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
