Mohamed al-Fayed’s son has said the multiple allegations of sexual abuse made against his late father have “thrown into question the loving memory I had of him”. The former Harrods owner has been accused of multiple rapes and sexual assaults by dozens of women, who claimed he preyed on young women working at the company.

Ongoing enquiries into allegations of sexual abuse against former Harrods chairman Mohamed Al Fayed have unearthed new testimony linked to Fulham FC. Al Fayed, who died aged 94 in August 2023, owned the club between 1997 and 2013.

The legal team representing the alleged victims of the former owner of Harrods, Mohamed Al Fayed, say the late billionaire was a “monster” whose crimes were “enabled” by the high-end department store.

Mohamed Al-Fayed owned Harrods, which said it had 'failed' the women accusing the late billionaire of sexual assault, and apologized to them.

For Fulham, the shadow of the new allegations made last week against their former owner, Mohamed Al Fayed, is inescapable. In the words of Dean Armstrong KC, representing 37 women who allege they were sexually abused by Al Fayed, Fulham were once owned by “a monster”.

Evidence against Mohamed Al-Fayed — the late Harrods owner accused of multiple rapes —was previously presented by police to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in 2009 and 2015, though the organization determined there was not a 'realistic prospect of conviction' both times.

The managing director of Harrods says the London department store is “deeply sorry” for failing employees who say they were sexually assaulted by late owner Mohamed Al Fayed.

There is “credible evidence of abuse” at Fulham under the ownership of Mohamed Al-Fayed, according to lawyers representing women who allege rape and sexual abuse while working at his famous department store,
