Nearly 90 Air Travels Associated to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
A review has uncovered that close to 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some reportedly having onboard British women who claim they were abused by the convicted sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Movement
These aviation records were part of thousands of legal papers and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the past year. The investigation found 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed “females” were recorded among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” said American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not received any contact by UK authorities, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not received any additional information that would support reopening the investigation.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to release every document held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of documents are expected to be made public.
Separately, a federal judge ruled last week that the DOJ could make public case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
