Britain’s police watchdog said it is assessing complaints from two women over how the Metropolitan Police handled sex crime allegations they made against the late Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed.
The Metropolitan Police said late Friday that it referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct after two women came forward in recent weeks with concerns about how their allegations were handled by officers when first reported in 2008 and 2013. The police watchdog said it will assess the information provided before deciding if further action is needed.Allegations against Al Fayed have grown since the BBC broadcast claims by several former Harrods employees in September.
Clayman said police are “actively reviewing” 21 sex crime allegations against Al Fayed that were made to police prior to his death to determine whether any more investigations are possible.
