Close to 90 Air Travels Associated to Epstein Allegedly Came to or from UK Airports
Analysis has uncovered that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airports, with some allegedly having onboard British women who assert they were victimized by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Trail of Travel
The flight logs were part of thousands of legal papers and papers made public by Epsteinâs estate that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation uncovered 87 flights tied to Epstein â encompassing many that were not previously known â landing or taking off from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified âfemalesâ were documented among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred subsequent to Epsteinâs 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.
âIt was âastonishingâ that there had never been a âcomprehensive British inquiryâ into his activities in the country,â said US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epsteinâs accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that individual has never been contacted by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the the Met indicated they had ânot received any additional information that would support reopening the probe.â They noted, âShould new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, including any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.â
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
A bill to disclose all files held by the US government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of files are projected to be released.
Separately, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could disclose investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epsteinâs long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
