Nearly 90 Air Travels Associated to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
Analysis has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from British airfields, with some reportedly carrying British women who assert they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were among thousands of legal papers and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The analysis identified 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed women were listed among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate 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 Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not received any new information 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 material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to release all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of papers are projected to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could disclose investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
