Former prime minister Gordon Brown has submitted a fresh dossier of evidence to UK police forces investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s flights to and from Britain. The five-page memorandum was sent to six constabularies responsible for airports and air bases allegedly used by Epstein during the period he was accused of trafficking women. Mr Brown said the material contains new information intended to support efforts to secure justice for victims.

The evidence was shared with forces covering locations including Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and RAF Marham, following an earlier submission made the previous week. Mr Brown stated that the documents draw on information contained in the Epstein files rather than records from his time in government. He said the purpose of the submission was to prompt further scrutiny of Epstein’s movements through the UK.
Writing recently, Mr Brown said he had been “shocked to the core” by details revealed in the files, which he described as showing a serious failure to properly investigate Epstein’s activities. He highlighted records suggesting that British girls may have been among those flown on Epstein’s private jet, including flights approved after Epstein’s 2008 conviction in the United States.

Mr Brown has called for an urgent re-examination of whether victims were trafficked within and beyond the UK. He pointed to incomplete flight logs and airports such as Stansted as areas requiring closer investigation, noting that passengers arriving on private aircraft may not have required UK visas. The documents released by US authorities include extensive records relating to Epstein’s conduct and travel arrangements.
