On June 29, 1997, two months before the tragedy, a middle-aged man arrived at a Mossad safe house near the Pompidou Centre in Paris’s 4th arrondissement. His Swiss passport identified him as “Maurice Rubenstein,” a “financial consultant” with a Mossad-crafted cover. Maurice, a specialist in recruiting informers, aimed to enlist Henri Paul using financial inducements, threats, and blackmail. Maurice studied Mossad’s file on Paul, opened after Jonathan Aitken, a former Conservative minister, built ties with Middle East arms dealers. Granada Television’s report on Aitken’s activities led to a libel case, which collapsed when Mossad revealed Aitken’s wife hadn’t paid his Ritz hotel bill. Mossad, viewing Aitken’s activities as a threat to Israel, needed an informer like Paul, whose security role gave him access to hotel bills and phone logs. As a chauffeur, Paul could overhear VIP conversations and track their movements, noted Ari Ben-Menashe. Paul, a bachelor with expensive tastes for fast cars and flying, earned €31,000 annually. A Mossad psychologist identified his “inherent vulnerability,” recommending pressure and monetary rewards to recruit him. Maurice observed Paul’s cash exchanges with paparazzi for details on celebrity guests. By mid-August 1997, with Diana and Dodi expected at the Ritz’s Imperial Suite, Paul continued providing paparazzi information for money, secretly photographed by a Mossad agent. Maurice approached Paul at Harry’s Bar, discussing his passions over dinner. Maurice suggested a company seeking database updates would pay for Ritz guest information, a common Mossad tactic. Another Mossad officer claimed Paul was “on the hook,” with evidence of his paparazzi dealings used to pressure him. Meanwhile, Mossad noted MI6 and CIA agents in Paris tracking Diana’s landmine ban campaign, opposed by the U.S. and Britain. As Diana and Dodi’s arrival neared, pressure on Paul intensified to bug the Ritz and share guest details. Facing potential prison for spying or job loss for betraying confidentiality, Paul unraveled mentally, exacerbated by drug use. The night before the crash, Maurice threatened to expose Paul’s Mossad ties to Arab informers, a virtual death sentence. Paul was unfit to drive, even his Mini, let alone the Ritz’s Mercedes. On August 31, 1997, a Mossad-recruited Paris gendarmerie officer reported Paul’s Mercedes hitting a pillar under Place de l’Alma, killing Diana, Dodi, and Paul, and critically injuring their bodyguards. Maurice flew to Tel Aviv, leaving unanswered questions: Did Paul lose control due to Mossad’s pressure? Did drugs impair his judgment? Was he a victim of a ruthless intelligence operation?
