British police urge potential victims of former Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed to come forward following recent allegations of sexual abuse. Lawyers claim that Al Fayed abused female staff at Harrods and threatened consequences if they spoke out. Despite his denial, a BBC documentary suggests that Harrods may have covered up abuse during his ownership.
Stephen Clayman, head of specialist crime at Metropolitan Police, encourages victims to report allegations, ensuring they will be taken seriously and supported. The police aim to give victims a voice and address any previous unreported incidents.
Al Fayed passed away last year at the age of 94. The call for victims to come forward emphasizes the importance of holding perpetrators accountable and providing a safe space for survivors to share their experiences.
