Are we heading for 'Dianagate' ?

I have posted before on this blog about the ludicrous circumstances surrounding the inquest into the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in that Paris tunnel ten years ago. The inquest is now, as I commented before, on its 4th coroner, the others having stepped down in differing but equally unconvicing circumstances.

Now, as the long delayed inquest is due to open on October 2nd, it has been revealed that TEN THOUSAND documents, the core documentation surrounding police, medical and other witnesses evidence allied to photographs of the crash and the dying occupants of the car, have all gone missing from a Paris court house. Are they kidding us? Ten thousand documents simply disappear? It beggars belief and certainly feeds all those who suspect something very fishy occurred on that August evening in Paris.



The issue of the white Fiat Uno supposedly involved in the crash has been raised again, and documentation pertaining to witnesses statements about that car are missing along with other material. Shards of plastic and white paint were found at the crash scene yet investigators, while never satisfactorily explaining this, have dismissed the Fiat from their investigations.

A French photo-journalist who was said to own a similar Fiat, but subsequently said he'd sold it, committed suicide three years after the death crash and with his demise, the Fiat Uno conveniently disappeared from the investigation.

I really have no idea whether there was a British secret service plan to get rid of Diana. It sounds unlikely, though it's clear that her post marital liaisons and veiled threats to take her children abroad were causing great concern in official circles.

What is certain is that the loss of so many important documents, the constant obstructions over taking this inquest forward and the clear unhappiness of successive coroners about retaining any involvement in this case all serve towards encouraging the conspiracy theorists and making sure that when the inquest is opened, the interest throughout the UK and much of the world will be intense.

Will we be any the wiser at the end of it? Somehow I doubt it.
