Olivia Frank

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A troubled childhood led Olivia Frank to the Middle East. In 1974, she served as a soldier with the Israel Defence Force in the Golani Sayeret and participated in special operations including the rescue of hostages. She also served undercover with the IDF Military Intelligence, known as A'man, in a Beirut Palestine Liberation Organisation training camp, but eventually left the IDF in 1982, when terrorists killed her partner in an ambush and joined the Mossad, Israel’s secret service, where once more, she operated within counter-terrorism. Upon leaving the Mossad, she returned to the United Kingdom in 1986 intending to settle down.

As the Security Service MI5 pursued her, they mistakenly accused Olivia of operating for the Mossad on British soil. It led to the tragic deaths of her mother and father and to her false imprisonment in a men’s gaol.

Upon her release from prison, the Secret Intelligence Service MI6 recruited Olivia to participate in an undercover assignment to destroy then one of the wealthiest men in Britain. Termed a "deniable operation", as investigative television journalists representing The Cook Report covertly filmed her movements, Olivia’s mission led her to a secret summit with Asil Nadir in Istanbul.

Moreover, Olivia has also operated for Robert Wardle, Director of the UK Serious Fraud Office. Apart from her endeavours to fight injustice, more recently, Olivia has concentrated on fundraising for children's charities. As well as Save the Children, she has teamed up with Dr David Halpin. Dr Halpin, founder of The Dove and The Dolpin charity has begun a project to aid Palestinian children in Gaza.
