Essex Police are 'assessing' information, around Jeffrey Epstein's private jets in and out of Stansted.
Former prime minister, Gordon Brown, is calling for an inquiry into claims the convicted paedophile used the airport to fly-in girls from eastern Europe.
In an article for the New Statesman, Mr Brown wrote that files showed Epstein's jet - the so-called Lolita Express - making 90 flights to or from UK airports, including 15 after his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a child.
The politician said Epstein "boasted" about how cheap the airport charges were in Stansted compared to Paris.
On Tuesday (18 February), an Essex Police spokesperson said: "We are assessing the information that has emerged in relation to private flights into and out of Stansted Airport following the publication of the US DoJ (Department of Justice) Epstein files."
A Stansted Airport spokesperson said: "All private aircraft at London Stansted operate through independent Fixed Base Operators, which handle all aspects of private and corporate aviation in line with regulatory requirements."
It's as the National Crime Agency's revealed one-thousand suspected paedophiles are being arrested in the UK every month.
