The coroner could suggest that the police investigate any perjury Fayed might be suspected of indulging in, but the coroner cannot recommend he stand trial. The only agency that can send someone to trial is the CPS (Criminal Prosecution Service) and that could only be done on evidence provided by an investigation.

If perjury charges work in Britain like they work in the US, they are only brought about when the authorities want to get someone for something and they can't get them on the original charges.

We have a perjury trial going on for Barry Bonds, a baseball player, who a lot of people believe did steroids and are angry at him that he won the home run title, but the steroids charge is impossible to prove. So the authorities found evidence to charge him with perjury and that's what they are doing.

I think the Royal Family would rather just have al-Fayed humiliated in this trial and then forgotten.

I agree. I doubt they would want to provide still another stage for his continuing performance.

Yes, exactly. A perjury trial would just remind everyone of what he has said.

Al-Fayed takes centre stage at Diana inquest - Yahoo! News UK

------

I had just the feeling that if Diana had survived but that Dodi had died, Fayed would have found a way to blame her for his death. He hates the RF and everything connected to them. Such a sad character ...

According to the Daily Mail (aka the Skydragon Times ) Fayed's case has been dismissed by the European Court.

European Court throws out Al Fayed's Diana plot claims | the Daily Mail

"The Mail on Sunday has learned that his conspiracy theory, rejected by a succession of official inquiries, has now been dismissed by the European Court of Human Rights after a five-year probe."
and
"But judges sitting in Strasbourg said his claim was "manifestly ill-founded" and concluded that the deaths were accidental."

Mohamed al Fayed has set out in court his claims that his son Dodi, and Diana, Princess of Wales were murdered, and he called the Royals "that Dracula family".

Diana Inquest: Mohamed Al Fayed To Give Evidence |Sky News|UK News


Nazi Philip wanted Diana dead, Fayed tells inquest | UK news | guardian.co.uk
From Fayeds own lips -

"Diana told me on the telephone that she was pregnant," he told the inquest. "I was the only person that they told."
"They told me they were engaged and would announce their engagement on Monday morning. She would speak to her sons when she returned from Paris.

If he was the only person that was told of the pregnancy or engagement, what is his reason for them being killed?

Someone needs to put a muzzle on that man's mouth.

Claims that former royal butler Paul Burrell admitted not telling the truth at the inquest into the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, are being investigated.

Just came in for a short read of the forums, as I am "taking the waters" at Marianke Lazne, Marienbad in the Czech Republic at the moment but could not resist to add that he said "naughtly" that he had "introduced red herrings" and Personally for me this is not acceptable if someone is questioned on oath. Will there be a prosecution now, I wonder?

I bet this is something personal, that Philip nubed Fayed at least on one occasion. What Fayed said about the prince is so stupid but vindictive - that his family name of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Gluecksburg sounds like Frankenstein etc... I mean, it is okay that Fayed does not speak German but to assume because of this lack in his education that Philip is a Nazi... I doubt Fayed knows what it means to be a Nazi. And BTW - Philip and his family came from Denmark, not really Germany, because this part of Schleswig-Holstein became Danish in a time when Germany as a state or nation did not yet exist.
But it is fun readin the transcript and to get a clear idea how crazy and obsessed Fayed in fact is - in his own words. Very traitorous.

The man just goes too far, in my opinion!

Such a sad, sad man even though he is making these wild accusations I feel sorry for him, he hasn't and doubt he ever will come to terms with the fact that his beloved son is dead

It's because of the wild accusations that I can't feel very sorry for him. One can deeply and sincerely mourn a loved one without losing touch with reality reason and common sense. I feel sorry for all those he's accused, sans evidence, of conspiracy collusion and lies, which after reading the transcript from today seems to include everyone except himself.
