UK Investigates Use of RAF Bases by Jeffrey Epstein for Human Trafficking

The UK Ministry of Defence has taken unprecedented action to clarify the role of military bases in Jeffrey Epstein's criminal network. Minister John Healey issued an instruction to 'leave no stone unturned' during the analysis of archives from the last 20 years. The investigation aims to determine whether Epstein's private jet landed at key bases such as RAF Marham or RAF Northolt, and whether they were used to illegally bring women and girls into the United Kingdom. Although military bases can accept commercial flights for a fee, landings at facilities of high strategic importance, like Marham, raise serious suspicions of procedural abuse or third-party protection. The case has a strong political and dynastic context. Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has called for an investigation into whether Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor used military infrastructure and public funding during meetings with Epstein. Documents indicate a flight from December 2000, when the financier's plane landed in Norfolk just before a visit to the royal Sandringham estate. Andrew himself remains the focus of law enforcement following his recent arrest and questioning over allegedly passing confidential commercial information to Epstein in exchange for personal benefits. The relationship between the British elite and Jeffrey Epstein dates back to the late 1990s. The systematic disclosure of documents from US trials since 2019 has already led to Prince Andrew stepping back from public duties in 2022.Simultaneously, the crisis is affecting European Union structures. The European Commission has formally requested OLAF to investigate the activities of Peter Mandelson. The former British trade commissioner is suspected of violating the code of ethics and official secrecy. Disclosed emails suggest he may have passed sensitive data to Epstein, including details of a €500 billion eurozone bailout plan in 2010. Mandelson, known as the 'Prince of Darkness,' consistently denies any criminal activity. „The defence secretary has ordered a review of all records that the department may hold relating to Epstein flights landing at RAF bases to ensure that any information is uncovered.” — John HealeyThe political situation of Keir Starmer's government is becoming increasingly difficult, as the opposition and public demand full transparency regarding Mandelson's appointment to diplomatic posts despite his known connections. The Parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) confirmed that MPs, not the Prime Minister, will have the final say on the publication of sensitive files concerning Mandelson's vetting process. This scandal, linking the monarchy, government, and international institutions, is escalating into one of the most serious crises of trust in state institutions in recent British history.
