Dominick Dunne in April 2002 Vanity Fair:
This being the Hollywood issue, I decided to put some of my favorite topics - the upcoming murder trial of Michael Skakel in Connecticut, the dark doings in Monte Carlo concerning the death of Edmond Safra, the continuing mystery surrounding Chandra Levy's disappearance - on the back burner and update instead a few West Coast criminal cases before revisiting an old Hollywood forgery scandal in which I played a minor part and which redirected my life's calling from producing movies to writing books and articles about the rich and powerful in criminal situations. But I do want to mention before it becomes stale news that all the requests for further investigation into Edmond Safra's death made by his powerful brothers, Joseph and Moise Safra, have been denied by Monaco's highest court, the Cour de Revision, which provided the brothers with only a video of the reenactment of the night of the penthouse deaths of Safra and his nurse Vivian Torrente. In other words, the investigation is officially closed. Hmmm. Just think about that decision as it applies to Ted Maher. A very upscale, well-dressed man I encountered on Park Avenue the other day called out as he passed by, "That nurse in Monaco is taking the fall, isn't he?" Next month I hope to be loaded with info on all three cases. But back to L.A.
[Vanity Fair is not available in Monaco--go figure.]
FReepers please see post #1235.
Monaco: Free American Ted Maher NOW!!
They're shittin' us, right?
A *taped* reenactment???
What kind of a joke is this?
~sigh~
Seeing who made the thing, I'm sure it's a real Oscar Winning effort.
Geeehezzz are these Monaco people a pathetic lot, or what.
I'm sickened beyond words.
