More than 20 women told the BBC that Mohamed Al-Fayed sexually assaulted them before the former Harrods owner died in 2023.
Harrods department store owner Mohamed Al-Fayed arrives at the London High Court, 27 July 2007, for the preliminary hearing ahead of the coroner's inquest into the death of Princess Diana. Al-Fayed, who died in 2023, allegedly raped and sexually assaulted numerous former employees, according to a BBC investigation.
Al-Fayed died last year at the age 94. The billionaire businessman faced allegations of sexual assault while he was alive, but the BBC documentaryHarrods, which was sold by Al-Fayed to the sovereign wealth fund of Qatar in 2010, says it is “utterly appalled” by the allegations against its former owner and apologized to his alleged victims.“These were the actions of an individual who was intent on abusing his power wherever he operated and we condemn them in the strongest terms.
“We were all so scared. He actively cultivated fear. If he said ‘jump,’ employees would ask ‘how high.’” “The abuse of women, I was aware of it when I was on the shop floor,” Leeming said. “And I think if I knew, everybody knew. Anyone who says they didn’t are lying, I’m sorry.” Another employee told the BBC: “There was most definitely a culture of fear across the whole store — from the lowliest of the low, to the most senior person.”Originally from Egypt, Al-Fayed moved to the U.K. in 1974 and became a well-known public figure, appearing on chat shows on prime-time TV. His eldest son Dodi became internationally known as Princess Diana’s boyfriend, after her divorce from now-King Charles., which dramatizes the recent history of the British royal family.
