Michael Jackson was Murdered for His Money!

In interviews with Sunday newspapers, La Toya gave details about the 50-year-old singer's sudden death, drugs found in his body and a stash of cash and jewels that she claims have gone missing.

She told one paper: "We don't think just one person was involved in the murder. It was a conspiracy to get Michael's money."

La Toya, 53, accused a "shadowy" group of hangers-on of cutting him off from his family and friends and forcing him to sign up for 50 concerts at London's O2 arena.

She also told the News of the World that she knew the identity of the people she believes are responsible.

Jackson revealed that her younger brother had previously expressed his fears that people were out to get him.

"A couple of years ago Michael told me he was worried that people were out to get him," she said. "'They're gonna kill me for my publishing. They want my catalogues and they're gonna kill me for these.' I knew something terrible was going to happen."

Millions of dollars in cash and jewellery were taken from Michael house on the day of his death, his sister also alleges.

"He was surrounded by a bad circle," she told another paper. "Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person. People took advantage of that.

"People fought to be close to him, people who weren't always on his side.

"Michael was worth more than a billion dollars. When anyone is worth that much money, there are always greedy people around them."

"I believe Michael was murdered, I felt that from the start," she added. "Not just one person was involved, rather it was a conspiracy of people."

Jackson was the "loneliest man in the world" with no real friends and isolated from his family at the time of his death - less than 12 hours after completing a rehearsal for his tour, she said.

His sister has revealed that he was not found in bed but in the bedroom of his physician Dr Conrad Murray and said he had an intravenous drip stand and oxygen canisters in his room.

She described accompanying Jackson's children, Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and seven-year-old Prince Michael II - also known as Blanket - to see their father's body and said her brother thought he would die in his 50s.

"Michael knew he was never going to be a grey-haired old man," she said. "He didn't want to grow old."

La Toya said she was at her home close to Jackson's in Beverly Hills when she was told by her father that her brother had been taken to the UCLA Medical Centre.

While in the car on the way to the hospital she said her mother screamed down the phone, "He's dead!".

"I nearly crashed my car," La Toya said. "My legs went weak. I couldn't press down on the gas pedal. I got to the wrong entrance at the hospital and was begging the security guys to help me and take my car because I was so weak and faint.

"They took me up to the area where Michael had been taken. Mother was crying and Michael's kids were crying.

"I screamed, 'Is it true?' and she said, 'Yes, he gone'.

"I couldn't stop crying."

La Toya claimed her brother had only wanted to do ten shows in London but that the people around him did not care about him and were only interested in his money, and forced him to agree to do 50 shows.

While Jackson regularly kept up to £1 million in cash at his home, La Toya said no money nor jewellery was found.

"Michael didn't keep a close eye on his finances," she said. "A lot of people made a lot of money out of Michael."

She pledged the family would file a civil lawsuit against anyone they believed responsible and push for police to bring criminal charges.

She said: "I am going to get down to the bottom of this. I am not going to stop until I find out who is responsible. Why did they keep the family away? It's not about money. I want justice for Michael. I won't rest until I find out what - and who - killed my brother."
