Approximately Ninety Flights Associated to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
Analysis has identified that close to 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from UK airfields, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who claim they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the past year. The analysis identified 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unidentified women were listed among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys happened following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” said US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not been approached by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not received any additional information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to disclose every document held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of papers are anticipated to be made public.
Separately, a federal judge decided last week that the DOJ could disclose investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
