Max Clifford's millions have disappeared from publicity firm bank account ahead of compo payouts

Max Clifford’s victims who are hoping to claim damages could find that £1million in his publicity firm’s bank account has vanished.

Figures released in 2012 showed Max Clifford Associates Ltd had £1,063,607 in cash in the bank and assets of £1,229,410.

But Clifford, 71, successfully applied to have the accounting period for the year to March 2013 extended until the end of September, meaning his latest books are not due until next month.

A respected accountant said last night: “There could be an innocent explanation or it could be that breathing space has been bought to take money out.”

Clifford’s firm is due to close after he was jailed on Friday for eight years for sex crimes. His victims could claim up to £200,000 each.

The wife of the disgraced publicist Max Clifford is seeking a divorce after her husband was convicted for sex attacks earlier this month.

Jo Clifford, who is almost 20 years younger than the 71-year-old, has reportedly enlisted the help of top divorce lawyer Raymond Tooth and is in the process of trying to get a divorce from the jailed publicist to the stars.

The pair married in April 2010 after Mrs Clifford worked as Mr Clifford’s PA, but Mrs Clifford was a notable absence throughout Mr Clifford’s trial and has not spoken in public since his conviction.

Max Clifford to appeal prison sentence

Max Clifford has lodged an appeal against his sentence, it has been confirmed.

Earlier this month, the disgraced 71-year-old PR guru was jailed for eight years after being convicted of a string of indecent assaults, carried out between 1977 and 1984, using his celebrity connections to lure women.

The judge said that due to the age of the offences Clifford was charged under an act from 1956, which set the maximum term for each charge at two years.

Under later legislation passed in 2003, the maximum term would have been 10 years, and for the worst instances would have been charged as rape or assault by penetration, which attract a maximum life term.

The move by Clifford was confirmed by the Court of Appeal today.

Jailed Max Clifford sued by three female victims

Three female victims of Max Clifford are suing the disgraced publicist following his conviction for a string of indecent assaults.

The 71-year-old was sentenced to eight years in prison earlier this month for eight assaults on four women between 1977 and 1984.

The women's solicitor, Richard Scorer, said: "Clifford used his fame and public persona as a cloak to mask his sexual perversions. We are investigating all of Clifford's assets, including those of his companies, Max Clifford Associates and Max Clifford Media.

"We represent three women who have approached us for advice and we fully expect others to follow. I urge all of his victims to seek legal advice with a view to redress under the law."
