Nearly Ninety Flights Connected to Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airports
Analysis has uncovered that nearly 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from British airports, with some reportedly having onboard British women who claim they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement
The travel manifests were part of a trove of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the last year. The analysis uncovered 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified women were listed among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not received any contact by police in the UK, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not been provided with any additional evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose every document held by the US government in regarding Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of papers are expected to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the department could make public investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
