Defence Secretary John Healey has instructed Ministry of Defence officials to review military records for any evidence that Jeffrey Epstein used RAF bases to traffic women into Britain. The order follows claims by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who noted a flight in December 2000 in which Epstein's plane landed at a Norfolk airbase before a visit to Sandringham with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. An MoD spokesperson said any information relevant to Epstein's crimes would be handed to the appropriate authorities.
