Ties between a business in this industry and George Philips’s Success Plantation in Jamaica were investigated in the “Cotton Capital” series. Businesses in this industry employed the “Fake Sheikh,” Mazher Mahmood, as well as the ex-soccer player Glenn Mulcaire.

Milly Dowler’s mother testified against businesses in this industry during the Leveson (“LEV-ih-son”) Inquiry, which responded to accusations that the royal family’s phones had been hacked. Ghislaine (“ghee-LAYN”) Maxwell’s father Robert was a magnate in this industry, as was a leader of the Empire Free Trade Crusade, Lord Beaverbrook.
