Close to Ninety Air Travels Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
A review has found that close to 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left UK airfields, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who allege they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were among thousands of legal papers and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation found 87 flights tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified “females” were listed among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a minor.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” said American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has never been contacted by UK authorities, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met said they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support restarting the probe.” They noted, “Should new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of papers are anticipated to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge ruled last week that the DOJ could make public evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
