...ordering a backup car or making sure the princess was buckled up in the back. "They moved away from the rules. They let me down," he told TIME. Now he and Rees-Jones will likely face each other in French court -- trading barbs over who was responsible for Henri Paul, the Mercedes driver who was found to be legally drunk. Given that Paul was the Ritz security chief, it doesn't look good for Al-Fayed. Then again, the spectacle of Diana's bodyguard doing legal battle with Dodi's grieving father doesn't do much for the princess...
Tomlinson, who requested the meeting with the judges, related a hodgepodge of allegations, including his suspicion that the driver, Henri Paul, had once been a paid informant of MI6. But according to Tomlinson, the judges seemed most interested in his contention that a free-lance British photographer who covered the royals had regularly briefed MI6 on Diana's doings. The judges are trying to learn the identity of an English-speaking mustachioed photographer who was at the Ritz Hotel the night of the crash, and may have hoped that Tomlinson could shed light on the possibility that an MI6 agent...
...Alma tunnel has become a place of morbid pilgrimage: a way station in the re-enactment of Diana's life and death.

According to chauffeur Lafaye's deposition, Musa also knew that the car was unstable and tended to "skate out at the rear end." Lafaye told the judge that the Mercedes "did not hold the road. You had to know this car to drive it safely, and Henri Paul had never driven it." This claim is backed up by Jean Pietri, a veteran French automotive engineer who has independently analyzed the physical phenomena surrounding the accident. By comparing the mathematical curve of the Mercedes' trajectory with the actual tire marks left on the road surface, Pietri concludes that the car "tended...
Tomlinson, who requested the meeting with the judges, related a hodgepodge of allegations, including his suspicion that the driver, Henri Paul, had once been a paid informant of MI6. But according to Tomlinson, the judges seemed most interested in his contention that a freelance British photographer who covered the royals had regularly briefed MI6 on Diana?s doings.
