Nearly Ninety Air Travels Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airports
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airports, with some reportedly transporting women from the UK who claim they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were part of a trove of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the last year. The review identified 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed “females” were recorded among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys happened after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not been approached by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not been provided with any new information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to disclose 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 projected to be released.
Separately, a federal judge decided last week that the department could disclose investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
