Approximately Ninety Air Travels Linked to Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airports
Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 flights connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some allegedly having onboard British women who assert they were exploited by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Travel
The travel manifests were among a trove of court documents and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The review found 87 flights connected to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified “females” were listed among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met indicated they had “not received any further information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to release all files held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of files are anticipated to be released.
Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could disclose case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
