UK probes if Epstein used airbases for trafficking girls amid Andrew scrutiny

AI Summary

short article 1 min

The UK Defence Secretary has initiated a review of military records spanning over two decades to determine if Jeffrey Epstein used RAF airbases to traffic girls into the country. This action follows a request from former Prime Minister Gordon Brown for police investigations into Prince Andrew's potential use of taxpayer-funded jets and RAF bases to meet with Epstein during his time as trade envoy. The review aims to uncover any flight logs related to Epstein and provide relevant information to the authorities. While private jets sometimes utilize spare capacity at RAF airfields for a fee, the Ministry of Defence is committed to supporting civilian police investigations into Epstein's crimes.
