A mysterious death possibly a tragic accident another theory is suicide some observers are convinced that this very public death in Central London was an act of murder the victim a man of wealth power and intrigue. It was a midweek summer afternoon in the british capital and most londoners were going about their daily business. It was a wednesday that followers of british politics remember as the day when Prime Minister tony blair was on his way to Buckingham Palace to offer his resignation to queen elizabeth. But there was another important event on that cloudy afternoon. Carlton house terrace is one of londons most fashionable addresses former residents include 3 previous british Prime Ministers it lies just a few 100 metres from piccadilly circus. On that june day in 2007 the genteel rose garden was filled with police 1st responders to the strange discovery of a mans body lying on the lawn. The body was that of 63 year old dr ashraf maher one father of 2 a billionaire businessman and a spy. His fall from the 5th floor balcony would spark more questions than answers that had fallen did he jump or was he pushed. Dr marwan was the 3rd egyptian living in london. To die in this way in 1973 the egyptian ambassador to the u. K. General a fee nassif fell from a balcony in the very same building. And in 2001 actress who art hosni known as the cinderella of egyptians cinema also found to her death. Its generally accepted that Ashraf Marwan was a highly valued intelligence agent but what is in dispute is whether he was working for israel for his native egypt or both. As is the case with any unexplained death in britain a Police Investigation and a Coroners Court would attempt to find answers their role to draw different sections of Law Enforcement into the investigation. That he could eat in britain your bags and well let the government. Knock to work on 1000000 year old and common law for blood you know the person that is good at that if youre a jihad and the arab league is a work the last of a lot of energy has almost the only metropolitan police yet and a loss of that brittany alone mr ford beguile one man nothing to harry at the mouth of a new scotland yard. Been brooding theres a Strict Police protocol when arriving at a suspicious incident its essential that evidence is preserved clues that may be of value later in the investigation. Once they attend the scene they should seal the area so theres 2 areas to seal here one is where the person has fallen so that entire area should be sealed because there may be important evidence. Secondly the apartment from where the person is for them that area needs to be sealed as well as very important that these areas a sealed because a forensic detail. In a sauna called exactly where the old fuel rod. Moca on or a short or a short term plus an elitist intention my ian you know that the parliament they are the of of god in a couple unable to have though she our them to she too. There were 3 immediate explanations facing the police an accident suicide or murder. In some cases the cause is obvious and as evidence mounts up Police Attention is drawn to a single conclusion. Absolutely the police quite frequent cant do that and the problem is once they do that then they will look for the evidence to support that theory potentially ignoring other more profitable avenues it again down or discarding bitter didnt that didnt fit with that theory so that can be proven. And it happens fairly regularly in this case the police had undertaken investigation but it seems that the police had already predetermined themselves that this is a suicide case. So the police have come to the Coroners Court they said this man is for most of the balcony we dont have any other evidence. What is certain is that dr marwan was a life when he tumbled over the balcony of his luxury apartment initial Police Investigations looked at all possible options. The former editor of the british newspaper the independent has followed the case closely at the time he poured out over the suicide theory saying there were too many unanswered questions. You know all 3 i do know about him are 2 things one is very proud. Of it think probably kill themselves. And the 2nd thing was he was a very meticulous and i dont believe he was of left unfinished business. It wasnt clear whether. Others ago was a most. So was i in the us. This is to say rights mean. The Coroners Court would later establish that marwan died from a traumatic rupture to the air or to the main artery carrying blood from the heart. According to this document published by wiki leaks more ones family does not believe he took his own life. He was planning for the future and suicide did not figure in his plans. To my once family were very much of the mind that he did not commit suicide so in order to persuade the car know the coroner sorry that this was not a case of suicide would have to highlight certain things so how did dr my want to present in the days weeks leading up to the 27th of june 2007. Did he seem happy. Did he have any plans so i understand his wife was very clear that this was a 63 year old man with everything to live for he was still working he still had an active life and in fact had holidays planned with his grandchildren so you would highlight that. Somebody has got on going so that they anticipate being around not taking their own life. The inquest took place in london some 3 years later they declared an open verdict meaning that the death was suspicious but with no clear cause. Summer that called me sheri lee the really well word one hair one halloween lol is a going to call the police there wasnt in all had a shot of that one or turkey but to it is a metal can legitimately. What would. Let me out the good in all can feel when i had my human can and iraki at the local car and be an american mr the tower was the mostly list and no lace on the neck the carefree has a bill cohen in. A new one neg that we should look at in oh. Really a. Nice guy in the from russia on a fish i get to spit in the heart of my fish and it is a bit in the hole its a tell all about morgan verdict. So the open verdict is where the corner saying. Something is wrong here. But i dont know what happened there is not enough evidence. For me to come to any conclusion as to how this death occurred therefore this court opened. Some 40 years earlier Ashraf Marwan married mona nasr daughter of egypts then president. On the day her husband died mona was in beirut while their 2 songs were in cairo there are no independent witnesses to whatever a card a 24 called and i was terrace on that june afternoon in the 2007 g v Prime Minister. For 10 years that. One. He has considered a g. s g. s but. Again i say there are plenty of firies but hard facts are in short supply. The scene offered investigators a lot of clues but nothing definitive enough for them to come to a conclusion. As to what exactly happened in the apartment. Shops life and death were equally enigmatic both filled with incomplete details and hard fans who had questions. Just who was in Ashraf Marwan only those who were closest to him can genuinely answer that question one british journalist succeeded in contacting more ones family. Spent about 6 months china c. S. P. Someone from violence family via their british lawyer. After after a long period of time unexpectedly i kind of given up on ever hearing from them and then out of the blue i got an email from that hewas moans younger son. And he said meet me in london tomorrow lunchtime so of course i raced the things day he was smoking very forceful and his arse as he took a long time to answer every one of my questions. So i asked him about soft questions that actually just needed to tell me about his father what was it like growing up came in with you know some of the more pressing questions that i had. For example to see did he believe that his father killed himself and if not and who was behind his death for that while the family it was very important that the coroners inquest would show that their actions did not kill himself for their faith and for say the pride of their family and they are completely satisfied that that investigation showed that in the case that while it did not kill himself for me i dont quite buy that because if it was my father. And i found out that he did commit suicide out so once i know why he wasnt with us. Theres some evidence that dr marwan thought in those final days that his life was under threat. More ones were dont mourn or are gone nasir has rarely spoken publicly about her husbands death but in july 2010 she did agree to a london newspaper interview. She claimed that agents of the Israeli Intelligence service mossad were behind her husbands death though theres no evidence to back this up she said that her husband feared for his life believing that assassins were coming after him. And she categorically ruled out the possibility of suicide saying they were a happy couple with everything to live for she told the paper that quote there is no way he killed himself it is so painful to think about ones husband being thrown over a balcony. So who were ashraf more ones enemies might the answer lie in egypt where its been claimed. The egyptian businessmen were spying for israel. And they get another one on plane and oh are they can hear you know with anything in their in the 16 men in yen is ted told us of one on home get the idea that you have a missile but at the store near full of them on their own when there was a message that theyre going to see their hand in it im among ourselves when i won something with our luggage of out of the neat again not out of this all together and going to hit it out of me or leave it. Its known that marwan became exceptionally wealthy through his business dealings in london he owned a share in Chelsea Football Club and had a business reputation for playing by his own rules. At dozens of companies all over the place and looked and style. Lives under any deal that he could make money from now ive got no direct knowledge of these deals but i do know of number of companies that he was involved with. And any one of those could have turned sour. Moans career was both long and in many ways distinguished his marriage to the daughter of the egyptian president opened many doors for him some believe that he owed his reported billionaire status to having amassed a fortune of brokering arms deals. During his lifetime ma one was described as a diplomat a businessman a politician a government advisor and a spy its likely that a different stages he performed all of these roles but the name Ashraf Marwan is best known for espionage theres no question that he spied for israel he may however have been a double agent with his true loyalty being to his native egypt. Well as all countries are as any other country interested in intelligence thats the way you know what your enemy and sometimes your finds think. The best way everything someone so close they talk to the president so what it was the son in law of government abdel nasser later the president that was invaluable for accumulating information and close to the Decision Making. As was the case of. These early spy in the moscows few years earlier. At 1st the suggestion that Ashraf Marwan a man at the very heart of Egyptian Society had spied for israel seems implausible. But whats intriguing about the buy one again there are many things that we dont know but we do know i think fairly well documented from the israeli side not from the egyptians is that marwan offered his services to this rabies. There are several stories about how marwan was recruited as an israeli spy one comes from nudie bar joseph an author whos written extensively about Israeli Intelligence. In 2016 banjos of published the angel the egypt who saved israel this account of my ones life says he was code named the angel by Israeli Intelligence. The book claims that mom one phoned the Israeli Embassy in london offering his services after being initially rebuffed marwan and a senior mossad agent agreed to meet. A series of phone calls and messages followed the Mossad Agents realized quickly that this was a potential source like no other the son in law of the egyptian president and message was sent to marwan to go to a nearby cafe. The israelis were initially skeptical of the approach wondering if maher ones true intention was to become a double agent in order to feed false information back to them. Marwan pushed in on the across the table later the Jerusalem Post reported the european head of mossad is saying that material like this from a source like this happens once in a 1000 years will any case officer who receives potential walk in or a double agent will always assume the worst and the best way that a war can can establish their credentials is by producing 1st of all proof of their own identity secondly proof of their access to the kind of information that would be of interest to the recipient and certainly best of all would be to provide a specimen so examples of really good intelligence which demonstrates the status of the agent and his or her. The level of access. As to the contents of the oval handed over in the london cafe that remains a mystery also unknown and subject to much speculation among our ones motives. You know obviously was all the documents of 40 people of either of those student under wraps and textile until all of there would be a good fit but the fact that its you know it it became even closer to sad that that he towards truth father in law that was law suspicious affair he saw as it is is is a young playboy that was more interested in political power than its all you know in in his life that was going up the loss of a daughter. This was a time of profound political change in egypt on the 28th of september 1970 nassers suffered a sudden heart attack and died at the age of 52. He was succeeded by omar sadat this could have spelled the end of ashraf more ones position at the heart of government and influence in egypt. Bu
