The Mirror newspaer London reports Today
THE probe into Princess Diana's death has been among the most complex and sensitive of recent times.
But eight-and-half years after the tragedy that killed her and lover Dodi Fayed in Paris, it is finally starting to make progress.
Former Met chief Sir John Stevens, heading a 15-strong inquiry team, is due to hand his report to royal coroner Michael Burgess in late summer.
And the Daily Mirror can reveal his detectives have spoken to new witnesses and unearthed dramatic new clues.
The probe has discovered driver Henri Paul worked for French intelligence and found evidence contradicting claims that cameras in the crash tunnel were on the blink.
Officers hope answers they give will allow the adjourned inquest, expected to reopen next year, to answer lingering questions.

Several of these have been posed by Dodi's dad Mohamed Al Fayed, who has long alleged secret service involvement.
Lord Stevens has admitted: "It's right to say some of the issues raised by Mr Fayed have been right to have been raised. We are pursuing those.
"It's a far more complex inquiry than any of us thought. We have new witnesses and are re-examining other witnesses."
And a source close to his team, which has pored over thousands of documents collected by French police, told the Daily Mirror yesterday: "The care being taken over this investigation is incredible. It really has been painstaking work.
"They're dotting the i's and crossing the t's so that no questions can be asked once the inquest verdict is brought in.
"While there is still no evidence to suggest anything other than a tragic accident, there is no doubt certain procedures and lines of inquiry were not carried out properly at the time.
"There are definitely questions that need to be answered, especially in connection with some of the issues that have been raised by Mohamed Al Fayed."
The new lines of inquiry have centred on five key areas:
THE DRIVER
INVESTIGATORS have learnt Henri Paul, 41, was being paid by the French secret service. He had several bank accounts totalling more than £100,000.
They are trying to discover if he was working for them on the night Diana died.
Tests showed he had taken drugs and a large amount of booze and was driving at high speed. But Mr Paul's parents have alleged the blood sample used in the tests was not their son's.
THE CAR
THERE have long been claims that an untraced Fiat Uno clipped Diana's Mercedes just before the crash.
New forensic tests are being carried out on the princess's vehicle, currently in two parts and housed in a British garage.
THE PHONE CALLS
THE several phone calls Diana and Dodi made to friends before the disaster have been examined in minute detail.
The source explained: "A great deal of time has been spent speaking to the people who had phone conversations with them in the days running up to the crash.
"It may appear incredible, but some of them had never been spoken to by the authorities before."
THE BODY
THE question of why the princess's body was embalmed - contrary to French law - has been looked at again. Investigators hope to dispel claims it was carried out to destroy evidence that she was pregnant.
THE CAMERAS
PREVIOUS investigations have claimed cameras in the Pont d'Alma Tunnel were not working. But Lord Stevens' team has traced a woman motorist given a speeding ticket after she was clocked by tunnel cameras shortly before the crash.
The source added: "While that does not prove anything at all, it obviously shows they were working properly at some stage that night. So what happened to them later?
"Was the footage removed? Was there a technical fault and they broke down? Was it just one of those things?
Conspiracy theories have abounded since mum-of-two Diana, 36, Dodi, 42, and Mr Paul died in the smash on August 31, 1997. Only her bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones survived.
Many have been aired by Mr Fayed, who days ago claimed an MI6 officer posing as a photographer caused Mr Paul to crash by shining a light into his eyes.
Incidentally, Mr Fayed last week won a court battle against three paparazzi deemed guilty of breaching Diana's privacy by snapping her as she left the Paris Ritz that night. The trio were each fined a symbolic one euro.
The Harrods boss has shown no signs of letting up in his campaign.
Last week he also wrote to Labour MP Paul Murphy, head of the Commons intelligence and security committee, praising the new probe.
Mr Fayed said: "Lord Stevens decided that allegations... made by me, and which until that time, had been largely ignored, warranted full and thorough investigation.
"He appointed a team of senior officers under his personal direction, the remit being conspiracy to murder." But he added:
"Although Lord Stevens has been given access to security service personnel and files, he has clearly not been given the truth, nor has he been given anything like the access to which your committee is entitled."
When Mr Burgess finally reopens his inquest, will it stop the conspiracy theorists?
Was there a Fiat Uno that clipped Diana's Mercedes? Were Mr Paul's blood tests doctored?
Hopefully, Lord Stevens' team and Mr Burgess will be able to determine the truth once and for all. Then, perhaps, Diana will finally be allowed to rest in peace.
