Maxwell's Private Company File for Bankruptcy - December 1991
It was reported, December 3, that Spanish pathologists had concluded that Robert Maxwell, the publisher, had suffered a heart attack before he fell off his yacht and died in November. They ruled out foul play. The Mirror Group, a Maxwell property, announced, December 3, that it was investigating loans and asset transfers from the company's pension fund to companies that Maxwell controlled. On December 4, Britain's Serious Fraud Office began a similar inquiry. On December 5, Maxwell's sons, Ian and Kevin, sought bankruptcy protection in Britain for Maxwell's privately owned companies. Also on December 5, the New York Daily News, another part of the Maxwell empire, filed for bankruptcy in the U.S.

To convey its concern, the U.S. government, May 20, revoked the U.S. landing rights of the Yugoslav national airline. Sec. of State James Baker announced, May 22, that Yugoslav consulates in New York City and San Francisco would be closed and that Yugoslav military attaches based in Washington would be expelled.

On May 27, the European Community imposed a trade embargo on Yugoslavia. On May 29 and 30, Serbian forces shelled Sarajevo and the Croatian port city of Dubrovnik. The U.N. Security Council, May 30, approved, 13-0, broad new sanctions against Yugoslavia. The U.N. resolution demanded an end to the fighting and to all interference in Bosnia by Yugoslavia.
