Gordon Brown has issued a bombshell call for a police inquiry into sex trafficking by Jeffrey Epstein through major UK airports, following a harrowing BBC investigation that uncovered nearly 90 flights linked to the paedophile financier.
Former Prime Minister's Urgent Demand
The former Prime Minister has demanded a full-scale police investigation into evidence that dozens of flights paid for by Epstein transported trafficked women to and from UK airports. This includes the private jet flight that brought Virginia Giuffre, Prince Andrew's accuser, to the UK in 2001.
Shocking Flight Records Revealed
The BBC investigation found that Epstein's private jets made over 50 flights, primarily through Luton Airport, with additional flights recorded at Birmingham International Airport, RAF Marham in Norfolk, and Edinburgh Airport. Commercial and chartered flights paid for by Epstein also show dozens more journeys through London Heathrow, Stansted, and Gatwick airports.
Mr Brown wrote in The New Statesman: "What I discovered about the abuse of women by male predators and their enablers – and Britain’s as yet unacknowledged role – has shocked me to the core. It demands an in-depth police investigation, and is by far the biggest scandal of all."
Graphic Details and Royal Connections
The former PM revealed that emails include graphic details about Epstein boasting he could use Stansted Airport to fly in girls from Latvia, Lithuania, and Russia. Mr Brown stated: "The Stansted revelations alone require them to interview Andrew." If an investigation is launched, it is extremely unlikely that Prince Andrew would not be questioned.
Virginia Giuffre, who tragically took her own life last year, was transported to London after her flight landed at Luton Airport when she was just 17 years old. She alleged she was forced to have sex with the then-Prince, which he strenuously denies.
Victims Overlooked by British Authorities
Lawyers representing Epstein's victims in the US expressed shock that a full-scale UK investigation has not been launched. Flight logs analysed by the BBC include 15 flights after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
One British woman, named as Kate, was on board more than 10 flights paid for by Epstein between 1999 and 2006. Her testimony helped convict British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's accomplice, yet her legal team confirmed she has not been contacted by British police.
The flight logs were among thousands of court documents released in the past year, revealing the extent of Epstein's operations through UK airports and highlighting urgent calls for accountability and justice.
