Prosecutors in Paris said yesterday the investigation follows claims by "multiple alleged victims".

Diana often stayed at the hotel, including in 1997 before her fatal car crash with Al-Fayed's son Dodi.

Details of the alleged ring emerged this week after American secretary Pelham Spong, 42, was interviewed by antihuman trafficking officers.
