Approximately Ninety Flights Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
An investigation has identified that approximately 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left UK airfields, with some reportedly transporting British women who claim they were abused 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 files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the past year. The analysis identified 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed “females” were listed among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights happened following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” said American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that individual has not been approached by UK authorities, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They added, “Should new and relevant evidence be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed 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 made public.
Additionally, a federal judge decided last week that the department could make public investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
