Nearly Ninety Air Travels Associated to Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airports
An investigation has found that close to 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some allegedly transporting British women who assert they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were among thousands of legal papers and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The analysis uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified women were documented among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has never been contacted by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not been provided with any new information that would support restarting the investigation.” They noted, “Should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to release every document held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of files are anticipated to be made public.
Separately, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
