SAVILE..EPSTEIN..WEINSTEIN ..AL FAYED

'Monster just like worst celeb perverts | Probe widens into Fulham and Paris Ritz

- TOM PETTIFOR

MOHAMED AI Fayed has been compared with vile serial sex offenders Jimmy Savile and Jeffrey Epstein.

After a BBC documentary on the late Harrods boss, 100 women have now come forward accusing him of sexual abuse and rape.

And lawyers are now looking into his time in charge of Fulham FC and the Paris Ritz after one alleged victim claimed he operated a “lion’s den” of depravity.

Barrister Dean Armstrong KC told a press conference the case “combines some of the most horrific elements of those involving Jimmy Savile, Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein’’.

He added: “I have many years of practice but I have never seen a case as horrific as this.

“We will say plainly, Mohammed Al Fayed was a monster.”

Harrods was accused of being plagued by a “toxic” culture under Al Fayed’s 25-year rule, where young female staff were procured for him “for sexual gratification”.

Barrister Bruce Drummond said: “This is one of the worst cases of corporate sexual exploitation that certainly I, and perhaps the world, has ever seen. It was absolutely horrific and I can’t stress that word enough.”
