Approximately 90 Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airports
A review has found that approximately 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from UK airports, with some reportedly carrying British women who assert they were abused by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the past year. The review uncovered 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed “females” were documented among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” said US lawyers representing numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They noted, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of documents are expected to be released.
Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the department could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
