Camilla Fayed Cleared of Robbery Charges Over Brother’s Phone
Prosecutors dropped the case against Mohamed Al Fayed’s daughter and co-defendants due to conflicting evidence and disclosure issues.
- Camilla Fayed, daughter of the late Mohamed Al Fayed, was accused of orchestrating the theft of her brother Omar Fayed’s £1,900 iPhone at the family estate in Surrey in May 2020.
- The Crown Prosecution Service abandoned the case, citing conflicting evidence and difficulties in disclosing material from family court proceedings.
- Fayed, her husband Mohamad Esreb, and two close protection officers had all pleaded not guilty to the single count of robbery.
- The incident stemmed from a broader family dispute that had previously been addressed in civil court and settled without a full trial.
- The case's collapse follows ongoing scrutiny of Mohamed Al Fayed’s legacy, including allegations of sexual abuse emerging after his death in 2023.
