Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al Fayed – former owner of one of the most famous shops in the world – is accused of rape and attempted rape by women who worked for him. For the full investigation, search for World of Secrets wherever you get your ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ podcasts.

This is a story of power and control at the very top of British society. At the time of many of the alleged attacks, Mohamed Al Fayed was the owner of London’s luxury department store Harrods, and also the iconic Ritz Paris hotel and English football club Fulham FC.

The ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ heard testimony of over 20 women.

Harrods has condemned Al Fayed’s actions β€œin the strongest terms” and has told the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ that β€œas a business we failed our employees who were his victims and for this we sincerely apologise.” Harrods says the organisation is different today to the one owned by Al Fayed, and it β€œseeks to put the welfare of our employees at the heart of everything we do.”
