Ghislaine Maxwell was daughter of Media Tycoon and British Politician, Robert Maxwell.

he Foreign Office suspected Robert Maxwell of being a secret agent of a foreign government, possibly a double agent or a triple agent, and "a thoroughly bad character and almost certainly financed by Russia". He had known links to the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), to the Soviet KGB, and to the Israeli intelligence service MOSSAD.

Robert Maxwell died (((mysteriously))) aboard his Yaught, the "Lady Ghislaine".
