Diana: Driver had 'spy' contacts CNN The driver who died with Princess Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed in a Paris car crash 10 years ago was in regular contact with the French intelligence service, an executive of the Ritz Hotel said Wednesday. Claude Roulet, assistant to the president of the Ritz, said the driver, Henri Paul, had put him in touch with the intelligence service Direction de la Surveillance du Territoire (DST) in planning for a visit by an important Russian diplomat. Paul was not a regular driver, but was deputy head of security at the hotel.
Asked if it was Paul's job to help police with inquiries about special guests, Roulet said: "Usually it is the task of the security chief but Henri Paul had very good contacts with the French police so maybe those contacts meant that he was contacted more than his chief." Mohamed Al Fayed, who asserts that the princess and his son were targets of a plot, has claimed that Paul was in the pay of French and British intelligence agencies. He has also suggested that the plan for the couple to leave the hotel by the back entrance with Paul driving was concocted by intelligence agencies who directed Paul. "Police were very frequently aware of the presence of the guests, even when I didn't know who they were and they did ask to have some inquiries about the clients," Roulet testified at the British inquest into the deaths of the princess and Fayed on August 31, 1997. Asked whether the hotel was happy to provide the information Roulet said, "Not happy, but we had to." "The French police knew about the arrival of some guests and when they needed to have a look at what they did they asked the security services at the Ritz to have some tips about what they did and when they came in and went out and who they met and so on," Roulet added.
