An investigation has uncovered that nearly 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airports, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were victimized by the convicted child sex offender.
These aviation records were part of a trove of legal papers and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The investigation uncovered 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Unidentified women were listed among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for 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. Yet, that victim has not received any contact by UK authorities, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the the Met indicated they had “not received any additional evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They commented, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will review it.”
A bill to make public every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of files are projected to be released.
Separately, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could disclose investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
