Approximately 90 Flights Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
An investigation has found that approximately 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airports, with some reportedly transporting British women who claim they were abused by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Trail of Travel
These aviation records were part of a trove of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the last year. The review identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified women were recorded among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” said American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has not received any contact by British law enforcement, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, including any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to release every document held by the US government in regarding Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of documents are anticipated to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could disclose investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
