The full extent of media mogul Robert Maxwell 's paranoia in the months leading up to his death has been laid bare in secretly recorded phone calls between his executives.
The disgraced Mirror owner, who had worked for the KGB and MI6, bugged the offices of his global media empire and his lavish home in Oxfordshire.
In the audio recordings, revealed in a TV documentary, his senior staff are frustrated at being unable to contact Maxwell for three days while he was sailing off the Canary Islands.
