Le Van Thanh, the former taxi driver was when approached by Radar, he reportedly demanded €500,000 i.e, around approximately $496810.00 to discuss what transpired on the night of Aug 30, 1997.
The former taxi driver told the outlet that, “Nothing is free in life,” before saying “You pay €500,000 for me to talk.”
As per various reports, multiple investigations concluded that it was Le Van Thanh’s Fiat Uno that careened into the Black Mercedes S280 before it hurtled into the 13th pillar of Paris’ Pont de l’Alma tunnel.
In that crash accident, Princess of Wales, Diana along with 2 other passengers were killed.
According to a report by Radar, a former Scotland Yard Chief, John Steven, said that he tried to get the former driver to talk twice back in 2017 but he refused to speak about the accident both times.
As per the same report, Van Thanh refused to speak to the authorities as part of the highly-documented Operation Paget investigation that was launched to solve the mysterious crash of 25 years ago.
Le Van Thanh’s Fiat Uno is quite identical to the car which investigators believe hit Diana’s limo. Apart from this, he also owned a Rottweiler similar to a large dog which witnesses claim that they had seen in the back of the vehicle.
Furthermore, Van Thanh’s father, Francois allegedly said back in a 2006 interview that his son resprayed his White Fiat red hours after the incident, “saying he woke up his mechanic brother in the middle of the night for the same.”
However, when Van Thanh was approached for an interview by the outlet, he replied, “I want the money before. I already told you I don’t speak for free.”
At the night of crash, a couple who were driving home from dinner in Rolls-Royce claimed that they noticed a white Fiat Uno speed past them as they exited the tunnel around the time of crash.
The only survivor of the accident, Dianna’s bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones, tried to recall the mysterious accident as he said, “My clearest, and last, memories of the night are of the Mercedes pulling away.”
Moira Johnston, who co-wrote Rees-Jones biography, said that, “Just as Henri Paul was simultaneously faced with navigating the left curve and substantial dip which led into the tunnel, he was confronted by a small white Fiat Uno blocking the right lane.”
She further added, “The Uno was probably just outside, and about to enter, the tunnel as Paul first saw it. With contact with the Fiat Uno, the crash sequence had begun.”
Le Van Thanh previously spoke to the investigator Dylan Howard in an interview for a 2019 book titled “Diana: Case Solved”.
At the time, Van Thanh said that French authorities had instructed him not to speak with British prosecutors in London.
When he was asked, why won’t he cooperate with the police, he replied as, “They have tried to get me to help them, but this is not my job.”
He even went on to say that he was told that the British law is “not the same law as in France — don’t go there,” before adding, “That’s why I let them [the public] think what they want.”
The only suspect in the case Le Van Thanh was 22 at the time of incident and there hasn’t been any credible suggestion that he was part of some plot against the princess.
Back in 2018, his lawyer insisted that his client had no role in the crash that claimed Diana’s life and sent shockwaves across the world.
