Close to Ninety Flights Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
A review has identified that approximately 90 flights linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airports, with some allegedly transporting British women who assert they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Trail of Movement
The travel manifests were among thousands of legal papers and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The investigation uncovered 87 flights linked to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unidentified female passengers were recorded among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys happened following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” said US lawyers representing numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony 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. However, that individual has never been contacted by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They noted, “Should new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public every document held by the US government in regarding Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of papers are projected to be released.
Additionally, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
