Approximately Ninety Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
Analysis has found that nearly 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left UK airports, with some reportedly having onboard British women who allege they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Travel
The travel manifests were part of a trove of legal papers and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The analysis uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed women were documented among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys took place after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has never been contacted by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met indicated they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to release all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of documents are expected to be released.
Separately, a US judge decided last week that the department could make public investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
