Gulu Lalvani was mentioned in the long thread on the Fashion Café, I
thought he derserved his own thread.

He is a businessman with connections in Thailand, judging by the fact that
Princess Diana had been considering taking the two princes on a holiday in
Thailand with him. (DOP, p.140). That was in June 1997. But she decided to
go to the Mediterranean with MAF instead.

Lalvani is said to be worth USD100million. With that kind of money, and
connections in Thailand and Pakistan, it doesn't take a genius to think of
a certain poppy and a certain powder.

What is he involved in?

For starters, I would be interested to know whether Lalvani is involved
with Goldsmith interests (reminding people that Imran Khan, who ran for
president in Pakistan, was accused by his opponents of being the thin end
of the wedge for Goldsmith capital being invested in Pakistan - he had of
course married Jemima Goldsmith). Any 'health' industry connections?

"Prior to Dodi, Princess Diana met a Pakistani tycoon who was
20 years her senior. It was reported that Gulu Levarlee sp (Lalvani)
was D's new boyfriend. The Pakistani businessman connected with
electrical ventures. Within a few months after his denial, Diana was
dating Dodi. Both Mohammed and Gulu were friends and both were deeply
involved with BCCI. The possibilities of the Wedding and true love with
Dodi are getting slimmer.

In which countries does Lalvani do business? What are the sources for his
connection with Mohamed al-Fayed and BCCI? Is there a Goldsmith
connection?

People should note the dates here very well.

3 June 1997 - 'Swan Lake' with MAF

'a few days' later (DOP, p.140),
say 6-9 June 1997 - For first time since divorce,
Diana goes to night-club openly with a
man, namely Gulu Lalvani

? - Diana rings Michael Cole to tell
him yes, she had decided to go to France
with MAF, not Thailand with Lalvani

- US NSA opens a Diana file

11 June 1997 - Diana writes to MAF to accept formally
the invitation

15 July 1997 - Dodi arrives on 'Jonikal'


The idea of a Lalvani-MAF connection is intriguing. The implication in DOP
is that Diana told Michael Cole not only that she accepted MAF's
invitation, but also that she had decided France would be better than
Lalvani's invitation to Thailand. If MAF and Lalvani were friends, it
looks as though she had TWO OFFERS TO HELP HER DO SOMETHING THAT HAD TO BE
DONE OUTSIDE BRITAIN.

***Could this 'something' have been the organisation of a marriage to
Hasnat Khan?***

How did the press report her relationship with Lalvani? Was this 'tactical
deception'? Did she decide that MAF had greater security?

Neil, if there was no 'true love' with Dodi, what is your view as to the
reason she went on the yacht with MAF?

And how does Hasnat Khan connect with this? He has been described as rich,
I am not sure how rich, though, nor of any connection with Lalvani. I do
not know which city he originates from in Pakistan, whether it is Karachi.

What does Lalvani do in the electrical industry? Connections with BCCI and
Pakistan would point directly to heroin, of course.

DOP makes it sound as though Diana chose MAF's vacation over Lalvani's
because Fayed had children around the same age as William and Harry. Do you
think there is more to that decision banana?

Yes. Perhaps the Palace wouldn't have okayed the two princes going to
Thailand with Lalvani? If Lalvani and MAF are friends, that would be
intriguing.

some info from the www:

1. from "who's who in Honk Kong" website

Job Title:
Chairman
Company:
Binatone Holdings Ltd.
Address:
Room 1603-3,
Central Plaza,
18 Harbour Road
Wanchai, Hong Kong
Office Tel :
2802-7388
Fax :
2802-8138


2. from Binatone website

Binatone, founded almost 40 years ago, has linked the advanced technologies
of the West with the production capabilities of the East in spectacularly
successful style. In the U.K. alone, Binatone brands dominate the market,
taking almost 28% of total consumer telecom product sales. In Germany, Loewe
Binatone is second only to Siemens.

Products developed and manufactured by
Binatone also carry such
well-known names as Panasonic, Brother,
Sanyo, NEC, HK
Telecom CSL, Loewe and Schneider.

Although Binatone had become the UK's largest privately-owned electronics
company by 1981, Binatone moved its headquarters to Hong Kong in 1990,
reflecting the company's growing worldwide operations and the increasing
importance of Asia in electronics design and manufacture.

The focus of the company is placed firmly on telecoms. Binatone is poised
to become one of the world's major communications specialists, using
advanced technology and sophisticated software to produce high quality,
highly reliable user-friendly products -- all with the Binatone hallmark of
"quality first -- quality fast". (Binatone carries ES5750 and ISO 9000
certification.)

In 1990, Binatone purchased Dialtron, its
major competitor in the UK, and
in 1993 -- together with Matsushtita, BMW
and Dresdner Bank -- Binatone
purchased 49% of Germany's Loewe Betacom,
which was renamed Loewe
Binatone.

A very considerable operation. Thanks. I forget just how Lalvani (or
Levarlee - could we get this name right, whichever it is?) was mentioned
in connection with the TUBs/Fashion Cafe/Versace-murder. He is a friend
of MAF's and was a friend of Diana's - I've got that - but what's the FC
link? Please refresh my memory.

No link to the TUBs/FC/Versace that I am aware of (or have seen
postulated). Just that he was mentioned in the thread as one of the
'three Muslims with whom Diana was friendly' to whom Neil G was
referring.

Where have you seen him referred to as 'Levarlee' BTW?

It is interesting that Binatone is privately owned. Two questions spring
to mind. What is that company's relationship with Rupert Murdoch? And,
assuming 'Loewe' is a variant of 'Levi', is Loewe Binatone, like the
multi-billion pound Canary Wharf development in London's ex-Docklands,
an example of very big-time cooperation between Jewish capital and
Islamic capital? I have said before that this type of thing is a big
feature in the tension over the Middle East - i.e. which forces can rake
in the profits from cooperation and peace, and which forces can rake in
the profits from destabilisation and war.

Thanks very much for this information. What to make of it, I am not
sure. He is clearly a big operator. Hong Kong is without question
dominated by the triads, so Lalvani is not going to be without
connections with them. This also activates a German connection.

Don't forget she also had another connection with Hong Kong. David Tang
is a Hong Kong businessman and also a good friend of Diana and Fergies.
He is the one that tried to organise a reconciliation between the two
women in June 1997.

Thanks for this info, it is new to me. David Tang is one of the top
people in Hong Kong, a billionaire chum of people like 'Taki'
Theodorocopulos, and serious high-society socialite.
