Our work, supported by documents, including FBI reports and secret intelligence files from behind the Iron Curtain, shows Maxwell had worked as a secret super spy for Mossad for six years.

The Jewish millionaire and former Labour MP [born Ludvik Hoch in Czechoslovakia] died the way he had lived - threatening.

He had threatened his wife. Threatened his children. Threatened the staff of this newspaper.

But finally he issued one threat too many - he threatened Mossad.

He told them that unless they gave him £400million to save his crumbling empire, he would expose all he had done for them.

At that time, he had free access to Margaret Thatcher's Downing Street, to Ronald Reagan's White House, to the Kremlin and to the corridors of power throughout Europe.

On top of that he had built himself a position of power within the crime families of eastern Europe, teaching them how to funnel their vast wealth from drugs, arms smuggling and prostitution to banks in safe havens around the globe.

Maxwell passed on all the secrets he learned to Mossad in Tel Aviv. In turn, they tolerated his excesses, vanities and insatiable appetite for a luxurious lifestyle and women.

He told his controllers who they should target and how they should do it. He appointed himself as Israel's unofficial ambassador to the Soviet Bloc. Mossad saw the advantage in that.

Having learned many of the key secrets of the Soviet empire, Maxwell was given his greatest chance to be a super spy.

Mossad had stolen from America the most important piece of software in the US arsenal. Maxwell was given the job of marketing the stolen software, called Promis.

Mossad had reconstructed the software and inserted into it a device which enabled them to track the use any purchaser made of the it. Sitting in Israel, Mossad would know exactly what was going on inside all the intelligence services that bought it. In all, Maxwell sold it to 42 countries, including China and Soviet Bloc nations. But his greatest triumph was selling it to Los Alamos, the very heart of the US nuclear defence system.

He was approached by Vladimir Kryuchkov, head of the KGB. Spymaster and tycoon met in the utmost secrecy in the Kremlin.

Kryuchkov had an extraordinary proposal. He wanted Maxwell to help orchestrate the overthrow of Mikhail Gorbachev, the reformist Soviet leader. That would bring to an end a fledgling democracy and a return to the Cold War days.

In return, Maxwell's massive debts would be wiped out by a grateful Kryuchkov, who planned to replace Gorbachev. The KGB chief wanted Maxwell to use the Lady Ghislaine, named after Maxwell's daughter, as a meeting place between the Russian plotters, Mossad chiefs and Israel's top politicians.

The plan was for the Israelis to go to Washington and say that democracy could not work in Russia and that it was better to allow the country to return to a modified form of communism, which America could help to control. In return, Kryuchkov would guarantee to free hundreds of thousands of Jews and dissidents in the Soviet republics.

Kryuchkov told Maxwell that he would be seen as a saviour of all those Jews. It was a proposal he could not refuse. But when he put it to his Mossad controllers they were horrified. They said Israel would have no part in such a madcap plan.

For the first time, Maxwell had failed to get his own way. He started to threaten and bluster. He then demanded that, for past services, he should receive immediately a quick fix of £400million to bale him out of his financial difficulties.

Instead of providing the money, a small group of Mossad officers set about planning his murder. They feared that he was going to publicly expose all Mossad had done in the time he worked for them. They knew that he was gradually becoming mentally unstable and paranoid. He was taking a cocktail of drugs -Halcion and Zanax - which had serious side effects.

The group of Mossad plotters sensed, like Solomon, he could bring their temple tumbling down and cause incalculable harm to Israel. The plan to kill him was prepared in the utmost secrecy. A four-man squad was briefed.

Then Maxwell was contacted. He was told to fly to Gibraltar, go aboard the Lady Ghislaine and sail to the Canary Islands. There at sea he would receive his £400million quick fix in the form of a banker's draft. Maxwell did as he was told.

On the night of November 4, 1991, the Lady Ghislaine, one of the world's biggest yachts, was at sea. Unknown to its crew, the death squad had cast an electronic net over the yacht to block all radio transmissions. The security cameras on board had been switched off.

After midnight there were only two men on the bridge. One hundred and twenty feet behind them, Maxwell appeared on deck.

He had been instructed to do so in a previous message from Mossad.

A small boat came alongside. On board were four black-suited men. Three scrambled on to the yacht. In a second it was all over.

Two held Maxwell. The third plunged a syringe into his neck behind his ear. A measured dose of nerve agent was injected. Robert Maxwell was immobilised. He was lowered off the deck into the water.

As Victor Ostrovsky, a former Mossad agent told us: "On that cold night Mossad's problems with Robert Maxwell were over

The incontrovertible facts about his murder are contained in a previously-unseen autopsy report by Britain's then-leading forensic pathologist Dr Iain West and Israel State Pathologist Dr Yehuda Hiss. Of all the documents in our possession, these reports confirm the truth about Maxwell's death.

The disgraced media and publishing tycoon, Robert Maxwell, was due to meet the Bank of England on the day his body was found floating in the Atlantic after he went missing off his private yacht, his sons have revealed

Kevin Maxwell, 59, said he and his father had a shouting match on the telephone the night Maxwell died, over a meeting planned the following day with the then deputy governor of the Bank of England, Eddie George.

The Mirror Group owner was still on his boat in the Canaries and refusing to return to London from his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine. “We needed to prepare for that meeting and I was a bit hacked off that he was going to leave it to the last minute,” Kevin told the Sunday Times.

He said he did not call his father first thing because he was angry, but finally contacted the captain at 10am to be told Maxwell, 68, was missing. “I said ‘Where are you?’ and he said, ‘We are cruising’ and then [I] understood that he [Maxwell] must be overboard,” said Kevin.

The inquest into Maxwell’s death ruled that he died from a heart attack combined with accidental drowning, but it has been the subject of endless conspiracy theories since.

The news of the planned Bank of England meeting highlights that in the days before his death in November 1991, Maxwell, a former Labour MP, was facing mounting pressure over the financial position of his companies, Maxwell Communications Corporation (MCC) and Mirror Group holdings.

Maxwell had taken two loans from the bank Goldman Sachs, one for £20m and one for £30m, and had failed to repay them, the Sunday Times reported. George had been informed the bank was to start selling Mirror Group and MCC shares it held as collateral, and Maxwell had been summoned. The news of the shares sale broke on 5 November, just hours before Maxwell’s naked body was found.

After Maxwell’s death, around £460m was found to be missing from the pensions funds of his companies.
