Nearly Ninety Flights Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airports
A review has found that approximately 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from UK airports, with some reportedly transporting British women who claim they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Movement
The flight logs were among thousands of legal papers and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the past year. The review uncovered 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified “females” were recorded among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” said American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors 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. Yet, that victim has not been approached by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met said they had “not been provided with any additional evidence that would support restarting the probe.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to release all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of documents are anticipated to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could disclose case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
