Brown said he had spent the last week looking at the Epstein files, the documents relating to the disgraced financier released by the US Department of Justice.
“What I discovered about the abuse of women by male predators and their enablers – and Britain’s as yet unacknowledged role – has shocked me to the core,” he said.
“It demands an in-depth police investigation, and is by far the biggest scandal of all.”
Referring to the BBC investigation into Epstein’s private planes arriving and departing from UK airports, he wrote that women “were transferred from one Epstein plane to another”.
A number of logs for his planes identified women on board only as unnamed “females”.
“It seems the authorities never knew what was happening,” he said, adding that many of the male passengers are unknown because their names were withheld.
“In short, British authorities had little or no idea who was being trafficked through our country, and for whom other than Epstein.”
Brown adds: “I have asked the Met urgently to re-examine their decision-making in their investigation and the subsequent reviews.
“Even women who have been mentioned in the Epstein files, whose names should have been requested months ago from the US Department of Justice, do not appear to have been contacted by British investigators.”
“I have been told privately that the investigations related to the former Prince Andrew did not properly check vital evidence of flights.
“I have asked the police to look at this as part of the new inquiry.”
He added that Stansted Airport was one of the airports “where women were transferred from one Epstein plane to another”.
“The Stansted revelations alone require them to interview Andrew,” Brown said.
