Close to 90 Flights Associated to Epstein Allegedly Came to or from British Airports
A review has uncovered that close to 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who claim they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Trail of Movement
These aviation records were among thousands of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the past year. The analysis uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified female passengers were documented among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys took place after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” stated US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met stated they had “not received any additional information that would support reopening the investigation.” They noted, “Should new and relevant evidence be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to make public every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of papers are expected to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
