Approximately Ninety Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airports
A review has found that approximately 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from British airfields, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who assert they were exploited by the convicted sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Trail of Travel
The travel manifests were part of thousands of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The analysis found 87 flights connected to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified “females” were documented among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that individual has never been contacted by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not been provided with any additional evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to release all files held by the US government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of papers are projected to be released.
Separately, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ could make public evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
