Approximately 90 Air Travels Connected to Epstein Reportedly Came to or from UK Airports
An investigation has uncovered that approximately 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left British airports, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who allege they were victimized by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were part of thousands of court documents and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The analysis identified 87 flights tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unidentified women were documented among the individuals travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” said US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Testimony 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 never been contacted by police in the UK, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not received any further evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of papers are projected to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge ordered last week that the department could make public investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
