Nearly 90 Flights Associated to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
An investigation has uncovered that nearly 90 aircraft journeys linked to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some allegedly having onboard British women who assert they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were part of a trove of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The analysis found 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed female passengers were recorded among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights occurred after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has not received any contact by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met stated they had “not been provided with any new evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They commented, “Should new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of papers are projected to be released.
Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could make public evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
