Robert Maxwell had connections with MI6 for years, whilst also maintaining links with the KGB as well. This clip from House of Maxwell, a three-part documentary on BBC Select, explores how Maxwell used his connections to try to further his media empire.

One family, decades of scandal. House of Maxwell explores the rise and fall of fraudulent media mogul Robert Maxwell, who drowned in 1991, and examines the actions of his socialite daughter Ghislaine, who was convicted for recruiting and grooming underage girls for her billionaire partner Jeffrey Epstein.

Interspersing archive footage and accounts of business partners and friends with details of Ghislaine’s trial, the series probes the lives of this disgraced family over a 50-year period.
