LONDON, Feb 18 (Reuters) - British police are assessing whether Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women through two London airports on private flights as part of a now nationally-coordinated effort to investigate the late sex offender's ties to Britain. NATIONALLY-COORDINATED EFFORTSTheir assessments, which do not constitute a full investigation,follow the establishment of a national coordination group to support individual police forces in examining Epstein's ties to Britain or British people. Documents in the Epstein files show multiple references to Stansted, including one that discussed whether a Russian woman with a U.S. visa could switch planes at the airport. Stansted Airport said in a statement that private flights were not managed by the terminal it operates, and that Border Force was responsible for immigration and customs checks. The Epstein files suggested both had forwarded confidential government documents to the late U.S. financier.
