Woman E: We sold Max Mosley story to get out of debt

By paulmcnally

The News of the World’s informant in the Max Mosley orgy sting operation – and her ex-MI5 husband – have spoken to the Mail on Sunday about the “spank and tell” operation.

In an interview, the pair say they agreed to sell the story as a way of getting out of debt – and insist that no one at MI5 was aware that they were planning the sting.

The man – who cannot be named – says: “I am the one who rang the News of the World offering to sell my wife’s story and sorted out the deal.”
