Nearly 150 People Report Crimes by Ex-Harrods Boss to U.K. Police
The Metropolitan Police investigation follows a BBC documentary and has led to more than 100 victims entering a compensation scheme offering up to £385,000, officials said.
- An investigation into the late Mohamed al Fayed, who passed away in 2023 at the age of 94, has seen over 140 individuals come forward to report crimes including rape and sexual assault.
- The investigation covers allegations spanning decades between 1977 and 2014 and also examines how the Metropolitan Police handled historical complaints and potential police corruption.
- Harrods has compensated over 100 survivors through a scheme offering up to £385,000, with victims encouraged to come forward as police continue probing facilitators and enablers of al Fayed's alleged offences.
- Detective Inspector Karen Khan said it is difficult to conclude the investigation due to the high number of survivors, and the force has transformed its investigative approach to prioritize victim-survivors.
- While al Fayed will never face justice, police and partners continue to urge witnesses and victims to come forward, and updates will be provided without jeopardizing ongoing proceedings.
