Mohamed Al Fayed Accused of Manipulating Harrods Staff to Conceal Alleged Abuse

Former Harrods director claims Al Fayed used cash gifts and surveillance to control employees and suppress allegations of sexual misconduct.

Ex-Harrods director Jon Brilliant alleges Mohamed Al Fayed gave cash gifts totaling $50,000 to compromise and control managers during his tenure.
Brilliant claims Al Fayed used surveillance, firings, and a divisive management culture to prevent employees from exposing alleged sexual abuse.
More than 90 alleged victims have come forward accusing Al Fayed of sexual offenses, including rape, spanning decades from 1977 to 2014.
The Metropolitan Police are now investigating individuals suspected of enabling Al Fayed’s alleged crimes and reviewing their own handling of past reports.
Harrods, under new ownership since 2010, has expressed its commitment to addressing past abuses and ensuring such behavior is not repeated.
