Jeffrey Epstein is linked to Israeli intelligence b/c of his business dealings and association with Ghislaine’s father, Robert Maxwell .

Robert Maxwell was given a funeral with full Israeli honors, often described as “a state funeral,” attended by Israel’s top leadership, including the Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and President Chaim Herzog.

While the official attendees were government figures, reports suggest that a number of high-ranking Israeli intelligence and military officials were also present, given Maxwell’s close and controversial ties to Israel, including widely held beliefs that Maxwell was a long-serving agent for Mossad.

News reports from the time focused on the high-profile Israeli political figures in attendance. The nature of intelligence work means the attendance of spy agency heads would likely not be publicly announced or confirmed, though their presence is widely speculated given the circumstances and Maxwell’s close relationship with the Israeli intelligence community.

The murky life and death of Robert Maxwell is outlined in a book titled “Fall: The Mysterious Life and Death of Robert Maxwell,” which explores the complex life and death of the media mogul.

The book examines how his Jewish childhood in occupied Europe, failed political career, rivalry with Rupert Murdoch, and eventual financial ruin and mysterious death at sea shaped his legacy, including his daughter Ghislaine Maxwell’s path.

The official cause of his death was accidental drowning, but his death has long been subject to conspiracy theories about murder or suicide.

A life of contradictions: Maxwell rose from a poor, refugee background in Eastern Europe to become a decorated war hero, Member of Parliament, and eventually, a powerful media tycoon. His life was characterized by extravagance, but also by a series of financial improprieties and a deep rivalry with Rupert Murdoch.

A mysterious death: Maxwell was found dead in the sea off the Canary Islands in November 1991, after an argument with his son over a meeting concerning the massive debts of his empire. The official inquest ruled the cause a heart attack and accidental drowning, but the circumstances remain murky and have fueled speculation about foul play, particularly due to his precarious financial situation and possible involvement with intelligence agencies.

Maxwell left a legacy of scandal: His death triggered the collapse of his business empire, revealing he had illegally raided his companies’ pension funds to stay afloat. The subsequent investigations led to charges against his sons, Kevin and Ian. The scandal and his life story are inextricably linked to his daughter, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the path that led her to become entangled with Jeffrey Epstein.
