Approximately Ninety Air Travels Linked to Epstein Reportedly Came to or from UK Airfields
An investigation has uncovered that nearly 90 flights connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from British airports, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Movement
These aviation records were among thousands of legal papers and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the past year. The investigation uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unnamed “females” were recorded among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights took place following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” remarked US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has never been contacted by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police said they had “not received any new evidence that would support restarting the probe.” They commented, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the release of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to release every document held by the American government in concerning Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of papers are anticipated to be released.
Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could make public evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
