Close to Ninety Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airports
Analysis has identified that nearly 90 flights linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from British airfields, with some reportedly transporting British women who allege they were exploited by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Movement
The travel manifests were among thousands of legal papers and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the past year. The investigation identified 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed female passengers were recorded among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights happened after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” said American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not received any contact by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not been provided with any additional evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They commented, “If new and relevant evidence be presented to us, including any arising from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of documents are expected to be made public.
Separately, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ could publicly release investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
