A new BBC documentary titled 'Al Fayed: Predator at Harrods' has brought forth serious allegations against the late Mohamed Al Fayed, former owner of Harrods, claiming he raped five women and sexually abused at least 15 others during his tenure. The documentary features testimonies from over 20 women who described a culture of fear and manipulation within the luxury department store, with incidents occurring in locations including London, Paris, and Abu Dhabi. One victim recounted being raped as a teenager in Al Fayed's Park Lane apartment, while another detailed an assault at his Villa Windsor in Paris, which ended with him instructing her to wash off any evidence of the attack. Harrods' current owners expressed their horror at the allegations and offered apologies to the victims, stating that the company's practices have significantly changed since Al Fayed's ownership. The documentary's release was reportedly spurred by a sympathetic portrayal of Al Fayed in the Netflix series 'The Crown.' Al Fayed, who passed away in 2023, had previously faced allegations of sexual misconduct during his lifetime but denied all accusations.
