Frederick Forsyth (above with the CIA-linked Yuri Geller) “is set to confirm he was an MI6 agent.”
He declared that there would be a public inquiry.
50th anniversary of the great train robbery
An article in The Sunday Times claimed that in 1973 Frederick Forsyth (above) had helped fund an attempted coup in Equatorial Guinea by mercenaries who had previously worked in Biafra.
The gang who carried out the Great Train Robbery consisted of 17 full members.
Only 11 of them were sent to prison, and two of them fairly quickly escaped from prison.
Biggs was one of those arrested and sent to prison for 30 years.
After about a year in jail, Biggs escaped and traveled to Belgium, Paris, Australia, Panama and finally Rio de Janeiro.
The site of the robbery.
Bigg’s share of the loot was £147,000.
Biggs spent £40,000 on plastic surgery in Paris and £55,000 on a fake passport and an airline ticket.
By the time Biggs got to Brazil, he had little money left.
And, he had abandoned his wife, Charmian, and their three sons.
Ronnie in Rio
When the Daily Express discovered that Biggs was in Rio de Janeiro, the British police found that they were unable to have him extradited.
This was reportedly because Biggs had got himself a Brazilian lover, a nightclub dancer, and she was pregnant.
In April 1977, Biggs attended a cocktail party on board the Royal Navy frigate Danae, which was in Rio for a courtesy visit, but he was not arrested.
Bigg’s son was called Mike, and Mike became a child pop star in Brazil.

Mike Biggs says: “I was only six years old and speaking on the telly, saying I wanted my dad back; saying the Queen wanted him but I wanted him more.

“It meant I had to grow up very quickly.
The boat they took him aboard suffered mechanical problems off Barbados and had to be towed into port.
The authorities in Barbados returned Biggs to Brazil.
According to the ‘actor’ Sverre Helgesen:
Sverre Helgesen was friends with a number of mercenaries, including Jimmy Duggan.
Sverre also knew a mercenary, Jean Schramme, who hired a chateau in France every summer as a training camp for his men – mostly ex-SS.
Schramme owned the red-light area behind Le Grand Place in Brussels.
Sverre Helgesen knew the novelist Frederick Forsyth, who (allegedly) acted as the intelligence officer for the mercenaries associated with Jimmy Duggan.
Jean Schramme, a mercenary in Nigeria in 1967.
According to Sverre Helgesen:
Jimmy Duggan was approached by a gay bank clerk (Jimmy was bisexual) and together with Rolf Steiner and Jean Schramme, planned ‘The Great Train Robbery’, to finance their coups.
“The money was to be flown out within the hour on a plane flown by David Ferrie (of JFK fame). I met him at Jimmy’s; he was well-known by the mercs.”
