Close to Ninety Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
A review has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left UK airfields, with some allegedly having onboard British women who allege they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were among a trove of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The analysis found 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed women were recorded among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” stated US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not been approached by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not received any further evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
A bill to release every document held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of papers are anticipated to be released.
Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the department could publicly release evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
