Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 aircraft journeys linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left British airports, with some reportedly transporting British women who claim they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation uncovered 87 flights linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – landing or taking off from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Unidentified women were recorded among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing numerous Epstein victims.
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not received any contact by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police said they had “not been provided with any further information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They commented, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of papers are projected to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ could publicly release case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
