CLIENT EXITED THE BANK ON REQUEST OF RISK COMMITTEE AND THE LAST ACCOUNTS
CLOSED JUNE 8, 2014
We understand her wealth came from trusts her father Robert Maxwell left
behind after he passed away on 5 November 1991.
Wealth is inherited from her late father, Robert Maxwell, who died in 1991.
Because of circumstances surrounding the closing of the account per
risk committee's request, we cannot request any additional information from
client.
Ghislaine was originally referred to the PB by Jes Staley. She does not
work, but volunteers for a charitable organization she founded, The
TerraMar Project (www.terramarproject.org). TerraMar's mission is to create
and empower a global community of ocean citizens. We promote
awareness, responsibility and transparency of the high seas. The web-based
nonprofit empowers the global community through citizenship,
education and social engagement through The TerraMar Project. Ghislaine is
the daughter of the late Robert Maxwell (DOB: 10 June 1923, DOD:
5 November 1991) - Maxwell established the Maxwell Foundation in
Liechtenstein in 1970. After briefly losing control of Pergamon Press Ltd
(PPL) in the early 1970s (see Controversy below), in 1974 he reacquired the
company. Maxwell acquired the British Printing Corporation (BPC) in
1981, and changed its name to the British Printing and Communication
Corporation (BPCC) and then to the Maxwell Communications
Corporation. The company was later sold in a management buy-out, and is now
known as Polestar. In July 1984 Maxwell acquired Mirror Group
Newspapers from Reed International plc. MGN published the Daily Mirror, a
pro-Labour Party tabloid newspaper. He also bought the American
interests of the Macmillan publishing house.
By the 1980s Maxwell's various companies owned the Daily Mirror, the Sunday
Mirror, the Scottish Daily Record and Sunday Mail and several
other newspapers, Pergamon Press, Nimbus Records, Collier books, Maxwell
Directories, Prentice Hall Information Services, Macmillan (US)
publishing, and the Berlitz language schools. He also owned a half-share of
MTV in Europe and other European television interests, Maxwell
Cable TV and Maxwell Entertainment. In 1987 Maxwell purchased part of IPC
Media to create Fleetway Publications.
In June 1985, Maxwell announced a takeover of Sir Clive Sinclair's ailing
home computer company, Sinclair Research, through Hollis Brothers, a
Pergamon Press subsidiary.[11] However the deal was aborted in August 1985.-
[12]
Maxwell's links with Eastern European totalitarian regimes resulted in a
number of biographies (generally considered to be hagiographies[13]) of
those countries' then leaders, with interviews conducted by Maxwell, for
which he received much derision.[14]
Maxwell was also well known as the chairman of Oxford United Football Club,
saving them from bankruptcy and leading them into the top flight of
English football, winning the League Cup in 1986. Maxwell bought into Derby
County F.C. in 1987. He also attempted to buy Manchester United in
EFTA01594185
1984, but refused owner Martin Edwards' asking price.
Describe the approximate value when received, and how it compares to the net
worth today.
