Close to 90 Air Travels Connected to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
An investigation has uncovered that nearly 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left UK airfields, with some reportedly having onboard British women who allege they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were among a trove of legal papers and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The analysis found 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed “females” were listed among the individuals travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights happened after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not been approached by British law enforcement, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met stated they had “not received any further information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They commented, “Should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of papers are expected to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could make public case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
