BBC Analysis Finds 87 Epstein-Linked Flights Involving UK, Including 15 After 2008 Conviction

The Met says it will review imminent US disclosures after stating it has no fresh evidence to reopen a case.

Overview

  • Newly analyzed court and estate records show 87 flights tied to Jeffrey Epstein arrived at or departed UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
  • The logs list unidentified females and British women who allege trafficking, and include 15 UK-linked flights after Epstein’s 2008 conviction.
  • Victims’ lawyers in the US call the absence of a full UK investigation “shocking” and say British victims were abused in the UK and trafficked to the US.
  • One woman identified as “Kate” in Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 trial appears on 10 UK flights paid for by Epstein, and her lawyer says UK police never contacted her.
  • The flight logs are among thousands of documents released by Epstein’s estate, as the US Justice Department faces a 19 December deadline to disclose additional government files and a judge has cleared the release of Maxwell investigative materials.
