    Lavish funeral. Held in Israel. Also an Israeli president and prime minister were in attendance. The first paragraph about his spy allegations on wikipedia goes out of its way to muddy the waters and paint him as a russian agent though, lol:

    Robert Maxwell has been suspected of having ties to multiple intelligence agencies, including the British MI6, the Soviet KGB, and the Israeli Mossad.[61][62] The British Foreign Office suspected Maxwell of being a secret agent of a foreign government, possibly a double agent or a triple agent, and “a thoroughly bad character and almost certainly financed by Russia”.[63]
