He is the man who may hold vital clues to the Paris car crash
that claimed the life of Princess Diana.
Yet
20 years on, Le Van Thanh – who has undergone an astonishing
transformation into a prize-winning bodybuilder – is still refusing to
talk about what happened on the night of the tragedy.
The
42-year-old owned a white Fiat Uno identical to the one that struck
Diana’s Mercedes moments before the smash in the Alma tunnel. In 2006
his own father claimed that Mr Thanh had resprayed his car red hours
after the accident.
Mr Thanh is in a
stand-off with the former head of Scotland Yard who led a three-year
inquiry into Diana’s death. Ex-Metropolitan Police Commissioner Lord
Stevens has twice written to him in the past year urging him to tell
what he knows.
The Parisian taxi
driver’s refusal has been a major disappointment for Lord Stevens, who
hoped his testimony might help dispel lingering conspiracy theories.
