Met Police submit Mohamed Al Fayed case file to prosecutors
- On Monday, Met Police detectives submitted a full evidential file to the Crown Prosecution Service concerning one suspect accused of two indecent assaults in London, advancing the investigation into misconduct connected to late Harrods owner Fayed.
- Operation Cornpoppy, launched in November 2024, investigates individuals who may have enabled Fayed's crimes, addressing more than 400 allegations of sexual misconduct dating from 1977 to 2014 against the late Harrods owner.
- Seven suspects have been interviewed under caution on suspicion of offenses including aiding sexual assault, assisting in sexual offences, and human trafficking for sexual exploitation. Investigators continue pursuing all available lines of inquiry.
- Crown Prosecution Service prosecutors will now determine whether charges should be brought against the suspect, though officials have not provided a timeframe for their decision. Officers will continue collaborating with the CPS as the case progresses.
- With at least 156 alleged victims contacting the Met directly, the investigation remains complex and sensitive. Survivor group One Above has urged authorities to secure evidence on all perpetrators and co-conspirators, including financial proof of how victims were silenced.
