THE Crown Prosecution Service said it twice considered bringing charges against Mohamed AI Fayed but concluded there was no realistic prospect of a conviction.
Fresh sex abuse allegations have been made about the billionaire Harrods owner, who died last year aged 94.
Dozens of women have come forward to say they were raped or sexually assaulted by the Egyptian businessman.
The CPS considered bringing charges against Fayed in 2009 and 2015.
In 2008, Scotland Yard investigated AI Fayed after a girl aged 15 said she was sexually assaulted in his boardroom.
The Met said it handed a file of evidence to the CPS, which declined to bring charges against him.
Probes into claims from three other women in 2018, 2021 and 2023 led to the CPS being called in to advise detectives.
