New information has surfaced concerning the mysterious deaths of Princess Diana and her associate Dodi al Fayed, and it's reopened the wealth of conspiracy theories that highlighted Di's final days.
According to ABC, some British news outlets claimed that the two may have been killed by England's special forces.
After a car accident claimed the lives of Princess Di and companion Dodi al Fayed, the French and British police conducted a lengthy investigation that cost a whopping $7 million. Afterward, law officials concluded that Diana and Fayed, as well as their driver Henri Paul, died because of an unfortunate and unexpected car crash.
But on Saturday, British paper The Mirror stated that all three victims were supposedly involved in one of the most controversial and well-hidden murders Europe has seen to date.
The alleged murder was brought to light when a court found Sgt. Danny Nightingale guilty of gun possession. During the trial a piece of evidence was used in Nightingale's case that claimed the Special Air Service was responsible for Princess Di's death, the Mirror reported.
In the letter, a sniper with the elite forces known as Soldier N who lived with Nightingale near the time of Princess Di's death claimed that the SAS "was behind" the death of the Royal.
"He [Soldier N] also told her [his wife] that it was the XXX who arranged Princess Diana's death and that has been covered up," the letter read.
Now, the British police have cracked the case open once more, although they are not calling it a re-investigation.
"The Metropolitan Police Service is scoping information that has recently been received in relation to the deaths and assessing its relevance and credibility," officials stated in a release publicized after the trial. "The assessment will be carried out by officers from the specialist crime and operations command."
ABC reported that a spokesperson for Dodi al Fayed's father Mohammed said al Fayed doesn't have a comment just yet, but has taken note of the fact that the police are looking into the case once more.
"He trusts that their investigation will be thorough and awaits the outcome with interest," the spokesperson said.
Princess Di and Dodi al Fayed, along with driver Henri Paul, were killed after a car transporting the couple around Paris slammed at more than 85 miles per hour into a concrete pillar in the Place D'Alma underpass on August 31, 1997.
Paul had reportedly been drinking before driving Diana and al Fayed.
