Nearly Ninety Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
Analysis has found that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left British airports, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were victimized by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Travel
The travel manifests were among thousands of legal papers and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the past year. The investigation found 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed “females” were recorded among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met said they had “not received any new information that would support restarting the probe.” They added, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of papers are anticipated to be released.
Additionally, a federal judge decided last week that the department could publicly release investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
