An investigation has identified that close to 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from British airfields, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were abused by the convicted sex offender.
The travel manifests were part of a trove of court documents and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the past year. The review identified 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein ā including many that were hitherto undisclosed ā coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Unidentified female passengers were documented among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place following Epsteinās 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
āThis is āshockingā that there had never been a āthorough probe in the UKā into his dealings in the country,ā remarked American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.
Evidence from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epsteinās associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not received any contact by British law enforcement, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had ānot been provided with any new information that would support restarting the inquiry.ā They commented, āIf fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.ā
A bill to make public all files held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of papers are projected to be released.
In a related development, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could make public evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epsteinās long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
