An investigation has found that close to 90 flights linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from UK airfields, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who claim they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.

Flight Logs Show Pattern of Movement

The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the past year. The review uncovered 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights

Unidentified female passengers were documented among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.

“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.

British Victims and Legal Proceedings

Evidence from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that individual has not been approached by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.

In a response, the the Met said they had “not received any further information that would support restarting the investigation.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, including any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”

Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings

A bill to make public every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of files are expected to be made public.

Additionally, a federal judge decided last week that the department could disclose case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
