Close to 90 Flights Linked to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
An investigation has identified that close to 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airports, with some allegedly transporting women from the UK who claim they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Trail of Movement
These aviation records were among thousands of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the past year. The review uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified “females” were recorded among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” said American attorneys acting for numerous 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 child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not received any further information that would support reopening the probe.” They commented, “If new and relevant evidence be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of files are expected to be released.
Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could disclose investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
