Approximately Ninety Air Travels Associated to Epstein Reportedly Came to or from UK Airports
A review has uncovered that close to 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left UK airports, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who allege they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Movement
The travel manifests were among a trove of legal papers and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the last year. The investigation found 87 flights connected to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed female passengers were documented among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not received any contact by UK authorities, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not received any new evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They added, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the American government in relation to Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of files are expected to be released.
Additionally, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ 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 allegations.
