Jonathan Moyle

Jonathan Moyle, once an RAF pilot and editor of the specialist trade journal Defense Helicopter World , died under suspicious circumstances in Santiago, Chile, in 1990. Was his death linked to his investigation of an arms deal involving Carlos Cardoen and Saddam Hussein's Iraq, focusing on converting civilian Bell helicopters for military use? Moyle’s aggressive questioning at an arms fair seems to have made him a likely target. But was was there more going on? While his death was ruled a suicide, evidence — like a sedative injection — suggested it was in fact a murder. The British government seemed to cover up the case, first claiming suicide, then suggesting a sex game mishap, to obscure Moyle’s espionage ties.
