Approximately 90 Flights Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
A review has identified that nearly 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from UK airfields, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were part of a trove of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the last year. The analysis uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed female passengers were listed among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” said US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not received any contact by UK authorities, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met stated they had “not been provided with any additional evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public every document held by the US government in concerning Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of documents are anticipated to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could make public investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
