AI Fayed case has 'elements of Savile and Weinstein'

MOHAMED Al Fayed was a “monster” whose case involves the “most horrific elements of … Jimmy Savile, Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein”, his alleged victims’ legal team has said.

Five women alleged they had been raped by Mr Al Fayed, right, who died last year at the age of 94, with a number of others alleging sexual misconduct.

A press conference which set out the claims made against the late Harrods’ owner heard there was a “systematic failure of corporate responsibility”.

Barrister Dean Armstrong KC told reporters: “And that systematic failure is on the shoulders of Harrods.”

The legal team also represents women who were employed by the Paris Ritz and investigations were ongoing into “all entities that he had involvement in”, including Fulham Football Club.
