"The broadcaster said unidentified females were listed among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK, while 15 of the UK flights took place after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor. US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims told the BBC it was shocking that there had never been a full-scale UK investigation into his activities in the country."
"In a statement to the broadcaster, the Metropolitan police said they had not received any additional evidence that would support reopening the investigation. Should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will assess it, the Met said. A bill to release all files held by the government in relation to Epstein passed the House and Senate last month despite strong opposition from Donald Trump."
Eighty-seven flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein arrived at or departed from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018. Three British women who allege they were trafficked appear in Epstein's flight records and related documents. Unidentified females were listed among passengers, and 15 of the UK flights occurred after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor. Testimony from a British victim helped convict Ghislaine Maxwell in 2021, and that victim has not been contacted by UK police. The Metropolitan Police say they have not received evidence to reopen the investigation but will assess any new material. A US bill passed to release all government files related to Epstein, and the US Department of Justice must comply by 19 December with hundreds of thousands of documents expected to be released.
