Defence secretary orders search for record of Epstein trafficking women through RAF bases

The UK Defence Secretary has ordered a review of military records to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's alleged trafficking of women through RAF bases.

The UK Defence Secretary, John Healey, has initiated a thorough examination of over 20 years of Ministry of Defence records to uncover any links to Jeffrey Epstein's notorious trafficking of women, particularly through RAF (Royal Air Force) bases. This order follows the recent release of Epstein files that suggest his private jet frequently landed at these military sites, raising serious questions about the involvement of British authorities in facilitating such activities.

The inquiry was sparked by claims made by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who suggested that the British state might have inadvertently enabled Epstein’s criminal behavior by permitting his plane to operate from RAF bases, occasionally carrying individuals whose identities remain unclear. Healey emphasized the importance of leaving 'no stone unturned' in the search for records that could help clarify the extent of Epstein's operations and any governmental complicity.

Private jets can legally land at military bases, provided arrangements are made in advance, emphasizing a need for stringent oversight and transparency in allowing access to such sensitive locations. As this investigation unfolds, it could have significant implications for the Ministry of Defence regarding accountability and the safeguarding of existing regulations governing the use of military airfields.
