alleged to have burned himself to death..,...,,.John
Macnamara
In the aftermath of the crash, Mohamed Al Fayed brought in his security chief John Macnamara to head a private investigation, at the behest of the Harrod’s chief. Using unique sources and excellent contacts, it did not take McNamara long to discover that Andanson owned a white Fiat Uno and that he usually kept it on his farm in Lignières in Central France.
Macnamara states that when he found this shabby
white Fiat Uno, his sharp-witted investigators noted
the fact that the car had been fitted with a new
rear tail, which would be entirely logical if the
taillight had been seriously damaged in an accident.
Andanson sold the white Fiat Uno a month after the
crash. Macnamara’s agent found the car in a garage
but was immediately arrested for interfering with
the police ‘investigation’. The police limited the
hunt for the Fiat Uno to the outskirts of Paris and
ruled out that it could be found anywhere else in
France.
French police were alerted by Macnamara and his team
of the existence of the white Fiat Uno and that it
was owned by a man who had been following Diana.
Rees-Jones, with what remaining memory he claims to
have, recalls seeing a white Fiat Uno on the rue
Cambon as they pulled off on the fateful journey.
Andanson’s recently sold white Fiat Uno had been
re-sprayed and there was no documentation to confirm
the date of the re-spray.
One might have thought the Paris police would be grateful for the information gleaned from Macnamara’s team of investigators. On the contrary, the former Scotland Yard detective was assured that if he ‘interfered’ with the ‘investigation’ again, he would be charged with a criminal offence. Quite apart from the fact that the French were not having a British detective to be seen upstaging them, it was clear that Andanson was a non-issue, in much the same way that it was decided by senior officials in the Alma Tunnel to stick to the ‘accident’ theory within an hour of the crash.
Andanson was one of the richest photographers in the world. But he was hated by many people, who disliked his bullying attitude and aggressive manner. Some of his ‘targets’ have described him as a ‘thug with a camera’, which indeed he used as a weapon to carve out a very comfortable living. Filmed as part of a documentary, Andanson was seen to cherish his white Fiat Uno, which was old and shabby, just as witnesses at the Alma Tunnel confirmed and were ignored by both French and British authorities, who had for once forgotten their ancient ‘rivalry’. In the documentary Andanson explains that his faithful car had taken him over a colossal distance of 325,000 kilometres.
In the Riviera resort of St jean Cap Ferrat, he ‘casually’ bumped into the owner of Fiat, the industrialist Giovanni Agnelli. The following day, Agnelli recognised Andanson in the town and struck up a short conversation. Andanson, desperate to impress, as usual, explained how he loved his Fiat and how it had been such a reliable vehicle. Agnelli, eager to play the magnanimous billionaire, promised he would give Andanson a brand new Fiat Uno when his shabby old car had done 500,000 kilometres.
Andanson, could not resist the temptation to brag about Agnelli’s generous offer. And yet, so proud of the reliable white Fiat Uno, for which he was promised a brand new replacement on completing the requisite 500,000 kilometres, just a month after the crash at the Alma Tunnel, he sold his ‘pride and joy’. As already explained, the car was refurbished with new rear tail light and re-sprayed. All the common signs of covering up ‘accidental’ damage. But the French police, incorrigibly bent on the accident theory, were not interested in Andanson and his white Fiat Uno….
One of Andanson’s colleagues at the SIPA photo agency in Paris, confirmed that Andanson had often boasted of working for French and British Intelligence services. This would fit in with Andanson’s boastful, arrogant nature, a man who believed he was untouchable. He would also boast to friends and neighbours that he was at the Alma Tunnel on the night of the crash and that police were not “clever enough to catch me.”
The arrogant braggart boasted to friends and neighbours that he even photographed and taped the last moments of Diana in the tunnel. The French Special Branch believe that Andanson’s role for the intelligence services was to harass, intimidate, watch and sometimes eliminate a personality. The French Special Branch were investigating Andanson at the time of his death on the grounds that he was suspected to have played a leading role in the ‘suicide’ of former French Prime Minister, Pierre Eugène Bérégovoy in 1993. French Special Branch believe Bérégovoy did not kill himself and was instead murdered.
Bérégovoy, apparently, had committed suicide by
shooting himself ‘twice’ in the head; the second
bullet was attributed to a nervous reflex, said
French police, again playing the guessing game, and
his death was ruled a ‘suicide’. Yet again, the
Bérégovoy case is one of an ‘extraordinary’
personality defying the mechanics of human
physiology by shooting himself twice in the head,
the first bullet not being enough to kill him. The
exit wound in his head was too small for that
associated with a .357 Magnum, the alleged ‘suicide’
weapon. He left no note or letter explaining why he
was going to kill himself.
French Special Branch state that there are witness
statements to put Andanson in Nevers, central
France, on the day Bérégovoy killed himself a couple
of miles away. Andanson’s widow Elisabeth also
confirms that he was in Nevers on the day Bérégovoy
was found dead. Forensic evidence shows that
Bérégovoy was shot from long distance and which
contradicts the police report that he shot himself
twice in the head. French Special Branch also reveal
that Andanson was present on the day that Diana and
Dodi died and he was present on the days of the
deaths of Lolo Ferrari, porn star, Dalida, singer,
Bernard Buffet, the painter and the pop star Claude
François, who sang the French version of ‘if I had a
hammer’.
Andanson certainly had an uncanny habit of
approaching people who died suddenly thereafter and
he was always in the immediate vicinity on the same
day. The French Special Branch say that he had an
‘intuition’ that certain people were going to die
and he just happened to be nearby. Of course, no one
is suggesting that Andanson was clairvoyant but
rather that he had inside-knowledge that someone was
about to die and was probably more accurate than a
clairvoyant.
And rumours abound that Andanson took the last picture of the Mercedes S280 from his white Fiat Uno and that final burst from his powerful flashbulb blinded Henri Paul, causing him to crash. A multiple burst from a flashbulb of the type used by professional photographers can cause epileptic fit and is just as strong as an Anti-Personnel Device flashgun. The crash could indeed have been accident, caused by the multiple burst from Andanson’s flashbulb but if Andanson did not intend to off-road the Mercedes, why swerve into its path?
And there is also the issue of who was driving the white Fiat Uno? Certainly, Andanson could not have driven the car and fired his camera at the same time. Witnesses say that two people were in the white Fiat Uno and one looked like he was hiding his head under a tartan blanket as the car left the Alma Tunnel.
Former senior detective John Macnamara explains the subject in this way: “You have a Mercedes that’s done a 180 degree turn, having crashed into the thirteenth pillar and yet the Fiat Uno survives everything, which suggests to me that that was a very professional driver. I can well believe, as a detective with 24 years experience, why Mr Al Fayed believes that his son Dodi and Princess Diana were murdered.”
French Special Branch also discovered from
Andanson’s diary, that he spent part of the day of
23 August on the yacht Jonikal at the same time as
Diana and Dodi. Commentators have spoken of the
abnormality of him being on the yacht but Commander
Mules suggests that Andanson had made a deal with
Diana to photograph her in a high-cut swimsuit. It
should be noted that Andanson once made £100,000 for
a single photograph of Prince Charles with a
suspected ‘mistress’, presumed to be his nanny Tiggy.
And two weeks after the crash, the Criminal Brigade
finally admitted that red-and-white optical debris
found in the tunnel entrance in the right-hand lane
came from the rear light of a Fiat Uno built in
Italy between May 1983 and September 1989. This
matched the paint deposits on the front right wing
mirror and body panels of a white Fiat Uno made in
Italy between 1983 and 1989. Andanson’s white fiat
Uno was made during the same period.
But the Criminal Brigade limited the search for the
white Fiat Uno to
two departments (districts) of Paris, near to
the Alma Tunnel and the remainder of France was
ruled out of the investigation. When John
Macnamara’s team of detectives found Andanson’s
white Fiat Uno, they were arrested and Macnamara was
warned that he would be charged with a criminal
offence if he interfered again with the
‘investigation’. Macnamara’s team clearly had done a
professional job and were not interested in limiting
their search area to a couple of Paris suburbs. But
French police did not want to take the matter any
further and Andanson knew only too well that the
police would not be able to touch him.
In effect, Macnamara and his team of professional
investigators were warned off because they were
doing a better job than the French Criminal Brigade
or more likely that they had got too close to the
truth by finding Andanson’s white Fiat Uno. But the
ever so mercurial Andanson was living on borrowed
time. He bragged often to friends and neighbours,
who were used to his boasts, that he was at the Alma
Tunnel on the night of the crash. He also bragged to
work colleagues that he was in the employ of French
and British Intelligence – he was a “loose cannon”.
But before he was put out of action permanently, he
had much wriggling to do.
Andanson may have denied to the police that he was
in Paris on 30/31 August, chasing Diana but he
boasted to a neighbour of having not only been in
Paris, but that he was present when Diana was killed
and that he filmed and taped the incident and that
could only have been from inside his white Fiat Uno,
which was not driven by him. Confidential police
forensic reports hidden in Judge Stephan’s report,
put Andanson at the Alma Tunnel but the matter went
no further and Lord Stevens has also ignored this
fact.
Even though his son, James said he thought his
father was grape harvesting that particular morning
in Bordeaux. Apparently, he had left home at
04.00hrs to travel to Bordeaux, over three hours
after the crash and more than enough time to get
back home from Paris, a couple of hours’ drive away,
before setting off to pick grapes and cement a cover
story for future reference.
In the Paget Report, John Stevens wrote:
‘The initial
contact between the French police and James Andanson
was by telephone on 11 February 1998. Lieutenant
Eric Gigou of the Brigade Criminelle tried to
arrange an appointment to interview him. This was as
a result of the police becoming aware of his
ownership of a white Fiat Uno. The exchange was
somewhat terse. Lieutenant Gigou reported that James
Andanson said ‘He does not have the time to waste
with the police’ and that he ‘Refuses to receive
policemen in his manor and that he has no time to
give.’ During this telephone call Lieutenant Gigou
recorded ‘…on the day of the accident he was in
Saint-Tropez and that he therefore had nothing to do
with the case’ (French Dossier D4546-D4547).’
A very simple text book case for the French police.
Andanson says he was not there [Alma Tunnel] and
that is it, no further investigation into his
implausible claim. Criminals across the world must
be hoping for the same treatment. ‘I was not there,
I was somewhere else, sir, when that person was
killed,’ would seem to be the ideal alibi to prevent
a thorough investigation. In reality the reverse is
always true.
Of course, everyone knows that in criminal cases,
alibis are thoroughly tested and investigated. But
the French and British authorities decided from the
outset that the fatal crash was an accident and
there would be no criminal investigation. In the
Paget Report, Stevens adopts the same dismissive
stance and has only skimmed the surface of available
witness testimony, which was his purpose from the
outset. The faithful Establishment plod, had no
intention of upsetting the apple cart from which he
draws his own succour.
In essence, the paint scratches found on the
Mercedes came from a white Fiat Uno but Judge
Stephan ruled that the Uno played only a “passive”
part in the crash. The reality is that the Mercedes
was thrown off course by the Uno swerving into its
path and with the combination of a series of
near-blinding flashes of white light, Henri Paul
slammed into the thirteenth pillar. But it all
became academic in 2000, when Andanson was found
dead in his BMW, 400 miles away from his home in
Nant, central France, on the site of a French army
training area. Andanson’s skeleton was, in fact,
found by French soldiers, who had seen smoke rising
on the horizon and gone to investigate the burned
out wreck in the woodland. Andanson was so badly
burned that he could only be identified by DNA
tests. And the location in itself was something of a
mystery.
Research shows that when people know they are dying,
they find a primitive urge to return to the place of
their birth or their favourite home. But Andanson,
supposedly, threw human nature aside, drove 400
miles away from home, drove a further two miles
along a potholed lane, scraped another mile along
cow pastures, into dense forest, found a clearing
few local people knew existed, which begs the
question how he knew it existed, and set in motion
the process of killing himself.
Andanson, supposedly, doused himself with over 20
litres of petrol, enough to drown him, fixed his
seatbelt, locked the doors of his BMW from the
outside, crossed his arms, and torched the car from
the inside. When his skeleton was found, his arms,
what remained of them, were still crossed. One has
to imagine the sheer agony and terror of burning to
death. He would have thrashed around like a madman
in the final minute or so of his life but he was
found, as if sitting comfortably, which is
completely unbelievable.
Police believed he had killed himself, but a French
fireman, Christophe Pelat, who attended the burning
wreck of the car, says he appeared to have a bullet
hole in his skull. Pelat has since declined to
comment on whether he has been interviewed by
Stevens’ detectives but has agreed to testify the
Inquest in October 2007. Along with everything else,
the police immediately decided that Andanson had
committed suicide in the most implausibly horrific
circumstances. We have never come across a case of
anyone committing suicide by burning to death in
car. Why not just use pills or a gun?
Conveniently, of course, the inferno destroyed all
valuable forensic evidence in the car and there was
little left of Andanson’s skeleton and he left no
suicide note. Almost reminds one of the ‘suicide’ of
Dr David Kelly during the prelude to the illegal
Iraq war. But, right on cue, came Sir John Stevens,
during the press release of the Paget Report, to
tell us that he had once attended an almost
identical ‘suicide’ and that we should not think it
strange that Andanson killed himself in this manner.
It should also be noted that Stevens did not mention
the name of the victim or the incident, time, date
etc. so the press could investigate the matter and
we must therefore assume his tiresome little tale
was produced simply for effect…
"A lie becomes a truth and then becomes a lie
again," George Orwell
Andanson’s family and particularly his widow did not
accept the ‘suicide’ fantasy proposed by French
Police and insisted a criminal investigation should
be conducted but the police, true to form, said that
the possibility that Andanson was murdered was
“fantasy”. And part of the “fantasy” is that no one
has ever found the keys to his locked car. In fact,
the car doors were locked from the outside. Was
Houdini present?
Did Andanson lock the doors from the outside and by
act of magic, disappear the keys into thin air? More
likely that his killers in the DST made the mistake
of taking the keys with them. Nominalisation
dictates that there will always be one mistake. The
biggest mistake of the French police is deluding
themselves that anyone with a rational brain could
possibly believe their tales which defy the laws of
logic.
The view in the intelligence community is that
Andanson had been talking too much and someone
decided to silence him
ad infinitum
before he revealed seriously damaging information in
the murders of Princess Diana, Dodi Fayed and Henri
Paul. There is also clear evidence, from his
colleagues that he threatened to come clean about
what happened that night and was prepared to release
the photographs and that was quite simply a ‘bridge
too far’ for his handlers.
Andanson’s friend François Dard said,
“He told us that he
was there. He was behind them. He was following
behind. He saw the accident and all but he wasn’t
stopped by the police. He left. It is impossible
that he committed suicide. We are convinced of it.
To be burned alive in a car – we don’t believe it at
all.” In fact, no
one with half brain cell believes that Andanson
committed suicide in the circumstances ascribed. And
a week after his death, the SIPA photo agency in
Paris, which he co-founded, was raided by three
armed men, wearing balaclavas. They shot a security
guard in the foot and held dozens of employees
hostage for several hours. Staff phoned the police
but they did not turn up. A member of staff said:
“They seemed to
know exactly what they were looking for and were
confident enough to remain in a busy building for
several hours, though they stole nothing of real
value.”
Indeed, the ‘raiders’ disabled the CCTV cameras in
the offices and did not seem stressed about the
police turning up. For armed ‘robbers’ they were
incredibly relaxed about the whole thing. And yet
again, they took computer hard drives, laptops,
cameras and the storage media for photographs. They
knew exactly what they were looking for. SIPA staff
are convinced that the ‘raid’ had something to do
with Andanson and believe French spooks carried out
the seizure of property at gunpoint.
There is also talk that the ‘raiders’ many have been
British SAS troopers, from the MI6’s disposal team
The Increment,
who are alleged to have been involved in the crash
at the tunnel. Contacts we have spoken to in Paris,
however, are adamant that the French DST were behind
the armed ‘robbery’ and they were intent on removing
the last damaging traces linking the DST and MI6 to
the murders of Princess Diana, Dodi Fayed and Henri
Paul.
As journalists we have an obligation to protect
sources of information. The raid on the SIPA office
was almost identical to the raids on the Big
Pictures office in London and the home of Lionel
Cherruault on the night after the crash. What
exactly the French DST were looking for at the SIPA
office is not known. It is believed, though, that
there was evidence in the office, put there by
Andanson, of his involvement in the crash and that
he was at the tunnel. If Diana’s death was an
‘accident’, according to the theories of the British
and French authorities, why were any of these raids
necessary? By definition, ‘accidents’ do not need to
be covered up because they are caused by chance
events.
And suicidal people, usually acting impulsively, do
not make intricate plans to burn themselves to
death, locking the doors from the outside and losing
the keys to the car. James Andanson, was murdered by
the French DST to prevent him from destroying the
‘great accident theory’ and the DST were also behind
the raid on the SIPA office to eliminate the last
traces of evidence.
They must have thought it was the end of the story,
how very wrong they were!
