Met Police Investigates Al Fayed's Alleged Abuse Enablers

The Metropolitan Police Service has launched an investigation into individuals suspected of facilitating the alleged sexual offences committed by the late Mohamed Al Fayed, former owner of Harrods and Fulham FC. Following a public appeal, 90 new victims have come forward, reporting incidents that span from 1977 to 2014, with some detailing multiple offences. The police are examining over 50,000 pages of evidence and are pursuing any individuals believed to have been complicit in Al Fayed's actions, as he was never charged during his lifetime. A BBC documentary has brought renewed attention to the allegations, stating that Harrods failed to intervene and help cover up the abuse. The police are also reviewing past investigations and have referred themselves to the Independent Office for Police Conduct regarding previous complaints. Commander Stephen Clayman emphasized the importance of giving survivors a voice and restoring public trust through thorough investigation.
