Secret files on Princess Diana’s death remain buried for 60 years

In 2007, French authorities claimed the entire file had been ‘lost’ just weeks before the US$17 million British investigation into Di’s death began – an investigation that ultimately concluded that the tragic princess and her rumored lover Al Fayed had been unlawfully murdered due to gross negligent driving by paparazzi and driver Henri Paulwho also died in the impact.

Bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones barely survived but suffered catastrophic injuries.

Sources told us that the French dossier on the horror, compiled by 30 police officers, contains thousands of pages of evidence – including around 200 witness statements, toxicology reports for Paul, never-before-seen photos of the crash scene and interviews from one of the largest legal investigations in modern French history.

Lawyer Jean-Louis Pelletier, who represented paparazzo Fabrice Chassery, said in 2007, when he sought access to the file, he was told it had disappeared.

He added: “When I went to court to ask to see the files, I was told they weren’t there. I know files get lost occasionally, but given the size and importance of this particular file, it’s extraordinary.”
