"He's retired now. He was a spy cop in the 1980s that's subject of an inquiry at the moment.

"He was put into various groups which were identified as being dangerous."

Describing how his family first suspected their brother's secret life, Richard explained: "He'd turn up for Christmas looking very much like his undercover role. Not quite the bow-tie-wearing type seen at European casinos, rather shaggy-haired with piercings, which always came as a bit of a shock.
