PA Kevin and Ian Maxwell outside the High Court on the day they learned they would not face a second trial for a fraud orchestrated by their late father (Stefan Rousseau/PA). The sons of publishing tycoon and fraudster Robert Maxwell have revealed their father was due to meet senior figures at the Bank of England on the day he disappeared from a yacht in the Canaries. Ian and Kevin Maxwell said they were “hacked off” when their father failed to help them prepare for the vital meeting in 1991, only to be told by the captain of the boat was missing. His naked body was later found floating in the Atlantic Ocean, and an inquest later found he died from a heart attack combined with accidental drowning. In an interview with the Sunday Times, Ian, 62, said the father-of-nine’s love could be overpowering if he was pleased with you, but he was terrifying if he was not.
