Nearly Ninety Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
Analysis has identified that approximately 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from UK airports, with some reportedly transporting British women who claim they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were part of a trove of court documents and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the last year. The analysis identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed women were documented among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has not been approached by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not received any new information that would support restarting the probe.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to release all files held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of files are projected to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could publicly release evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
