Lawyers representing 37 women who say they were raped or sexually assaulted by Mohammed Al-Fayed say he was a monster and sexual predator, whose behaviour was enabled by Harrods, the luxury London department store he owned until 2010.
Mohamed Al-Fayed was an Egyptian billionaire businessmen, who residence and main business interests were in the UK for decades. He owned Harrods, Fulham Football Club in West London and the Ritz Hotel in Paris. His son Dodi was in a romantic relationship with Diana, Princess of Wales when they died in a car crash in Paris. Mohamed Al-Fayed died in 2023 at the age of 94.
The current owners of Harrods say they’re appalled by the allegations and have put a settlement process in place for alleged victims.
A former manager of Fulham FC’s women’s team has said that female players weren’t allowed to be left alone with the billonaire when he owned the club, because it was well known that he liked ‘young, blonde girls’.
