Nearly Ninety Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airfields
An investigation has found that close to 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some allegedly having onboard British women who claim they were victimized by the convicted sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were part of thousands of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the last year. The investigation uncovered 87 aircraft movements tied 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 After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed female passengers were listed among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” said American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met indicated they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support restarting the probe.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of papers are anticipated to be made public.
Separately, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could publicly release investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
