A former secretary to the disgraced British press baron Robert Maxwell has described a bizarre phone call she overheard between the tycoon and his daughter Ghislaine Maxwell, recently convicted of sex trafficking offences, in which the pair meowed at each other like cats.
Ex-Mirror Group secretary Carol Bragoli recounted the exchange – which played out on speakerphone during the mogul’s tenure as a red top newspaper proprietor in the 1980s – in the first episode of the BBC’s new three-part documentary series House of Maxwell.
