‘A monster’: lawyers for Mohamed Al Fayed’s alleged victims liken case to Savile
Barristers acting for 37 women announce intention to bring civil case against Harrods over late owner’s alleged abuse
The former Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed was a “monster” whose sexual abuse of women could be compared with the cases of Jimmy Savile, Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein, lawyers representing dozens of survivors have said.
Speaking at a press conference in London on Friday, barristers acting for 37 of the women announced their intention to bring a civil case against Harrods, the luxury London department store, where they said a system was put in place to protect Fayed during his decades of abuse.
