British Police Urge Victims to Speak Out Against Mohamed Al Fayed

British police have urged potential victims and survivors to come forward with allegations against former Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed following media reports. Lawyers for alleged victims claimed last week that Al Fayed sexually abused female staff at Harrods, forced them to undergo medical screenings, and threatened them if they complained.

British police on Thursday called for any potential victims or survivors with allegations against former Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed to come forward in light of recent media reports about the Egyptian billionaire.

Lawyers for alleged victims said last week Al Fayed sexually abused female staff at his London department store Harrods, forced them to have medical screenings, and threatened consequences if they tried to complain.

The reports have sparked a new wave of scrutiny around the actions of the former department store magnate, intensifying public interest in long-standing allegations against him.
