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.

Fayed, the late Egyptian billionaire and owner of Harrods whose son died with Princess Diana, has been accused of rape by multiple women.

Here are some of the key moments and sex abuse claims amid Fayed’s almost 40-year reign at the top of his business empire.

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.

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.

Fayed, the former owner of Harrods, Fulham FC and the Hotel Ritz, was initially accused by 19 women of rape and sexual abuse between 2005 and 2023
