Late Mohamed Al Fayed Accused of R@pe by Multiple Women, Including Former Harrods Employees

Late Egyptian businessman Mohamed Al Fayed, the former owner of Harrods and father of Dodi Al Fayed, who died alongside Princess Diana in a 1997 car crash, has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women. 

 In a BBC documentary titled “Al Fayed: Predator at Harrods,” over 20 women, many of whom were former Harrods employees, have come forward with allegations of r@pe, attempted r@pe, and sexual assault spanning from the 1980s to the 2000s. 

 The majority of the incidents are alleged to have occurred in Al Fayed’s properties in London and Paris, including a block of apartments in Park Lane and the Ritz hotel. 

 Thirteen women accused Al Fayed of assault at the Park Lane apartments, with four alleging they were r@ped. 

 Others claimed the assaults took place in Paris, with one woman stating she was r@ped while five others reported attempted r@pe. 

 A senior manager at Harrods confirmed that Al Fayed’s behavior was “known around the company,” yet no intervention occurred, leading to claims that the department store helped cover up the allegations.

 Following these revelations, Harrods issued a statement condemning Al Fayed’s alleged actions and apologizing to the victims, stating,

“We failed our employees who were his victims, and for this, we sincerely apologize.” 

 Some women have already begun settling claims with Harrods, and further legal actions are expected. 

 In spite of police investigating a r@pe allegation in 2015, no charges were brought due to Al Fayed’s advanced age and dementia.
