Nearly Ninety Air Travels Associated to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
An investigation has identified that approximately 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from British airfields, with some reportedly transporting British women who claim they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Trail of Travel
The travel manifests were part of thousands of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the previous twelve months. The review uncovered 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed “females” were listed among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not been approached by British law enforcement, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not received any additional evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They commented, “Should new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, including any arising from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of documents are expected to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge ruled last week that the department could make public investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
