Approximately 90 Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airfields
A review has uncovered that approximately 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some reportedly having onboard British women who allege they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Trail of Travel
These aviation records were part of a trove of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the past year. The investigation identified 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed female passengers were documented among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that individual has never been contacted by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not been provided with any new evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of documents are expected to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge decided last week that the department could make public investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
