Approximately Ninety Flights Associated to Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
An investigation has uncovered that close to 90 flights linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from British airfields, with some reportedly transporting British women who assert they were victimized by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Trail of Travel
These aviation records were among thousands of legal papers and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the past year. The review identified 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified women were documented among the individuals travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not been approached by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not been provided with any new information that would support reopening the investigation.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, including any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to make public all files held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of documents are projected to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could disclose investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
