Nearly Ninety Flights Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
An investigation has uncovered that nearly 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left British airfields, with some allegedly having onboard British women who claim they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Movement
These aviation records were part of a trove of legal papers and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the last year. The investigation found 87 flights linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified women were recorded among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights happened after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers representing numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not received any contact by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not received any new information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to release all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of files are expected to be released.
In a related development, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could make public case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
