Close to Ninety Air Travels Connected to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
Analysis has identified that nearly 90 flights linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some reportedly transporting British women who claim they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were among a trove of legal papers and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the last year. The review identified 87 flights tied to Epstein â featuring many that were previously unknown â coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unidentified female passengers were listed among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place after Epsteinâs 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a underage person.
âIt was âshockingâ that there had never been a âthorough probe in the UKâ into his operations in the country,â remarked American attorneys representing numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the British victims helped convict Epsteinâs accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has not received any contact by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had ânot received any additional information that would support restarting the investigation.â They noted, âIf fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the release of material in the US, we will review it.â
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to release all files held by the US government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of documents are projected to be made public.
Separately, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ could disclose investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epsteinâs longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
