Harrods Probes Staff Ties to Fayed's Alleged Abuse Amid New Claims
The luxury store is investigating potential staff involvement in Mohamed Al Fayed's alleged decades-long abuse, with over 100 women coming forward.
- Harrods is conducting an internal review to determine if any current employees were involved in Mohamed Al Fayed's alleged sexual abuse of women.
- More than 100 women have accused Fayed, who died last year, of rape and assault, prompting the store to work with Scotland Yard.
- A BBC documentary and new evidence have led to a surge in allegations against Fayed, including claims he used a 'fixer' to procure young victims.
- Critics argue Harrods' internal settlement scheme is a 'whitewash,' calling for independent counsel and a public inquiry into the abuse.
- The Crown Prosecution Service had previously decided not to charge Fayed in 2009 and 2015, despite evidence presented by alleged victims.
