Nearly Ninety Air Travels Connected to Epstein Allegedly Came to or from British Airfields
An investigation has identified that approximately 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some allegedly transporting British women who claim they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were part of thousands of legal papers and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the last year. The investigation found 87 flights tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed female passengers were documented among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys happened following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a minor.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” said US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has not received any contact by police in the UK, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met said they had “not received any further information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They commented, “If new and relevant information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of documents are expected to be released.
Additionally, a US judge ruled last week that the department could disclose investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
