Harrods Settles Misconduct Claims After Al Fayed's Death
News summary

Harrods is in the process of settling over 250 compensation claims from women alleging historical sexual misconduct by former owner Mohamed Al Fayed, as revealed in a recent BBC documentary. The revelations have prompted a detailed review by Scotland Yard, which has received new allegations from 60 individuals following the show's airing. Al Fayed, who owned Harrods from 1985 to 2010 and passed away in 2023, has been accused of behavior earning comparisons to high-profile offenders like Harvey Weinstein. Despite previous investigations, including evidence presented to the Crown Prosecution Service, no charges were filed due to a lack of a realistic prospect of conviction. Harrods, now under new ownership, is working to settle these claims and has expressed being appalled by the allegations, focusing on ensuring victim-survivors receive support. The Metropolitan Police aims to provide a voice to the alleged victims despite Al Fayed's death, emphasizing the importance of thorough review and support for those affected.
