Close to 90 Air Travels Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Came to or from UK Airfields
An investigation has found that nearly 90 aircraft journeys connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from UK airfields, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who claim they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Movement
These aviation records were part of thousands of legal papers and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the previous twelve months. The review identified 87 flights tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified female passengers were listed among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“This is ‘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.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice 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 attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the the Met said they had “not received any further information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They added, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of files are expected to be released.
In a related development, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ 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.
