British police have announced they are investigating associates of late Harrods owner Mohamed al-Fayed on suspicion of “assisting and facilitating” his alleged rape and other sexual abuse of female staff.
London’s Metropolitan Police Service said on Wednesday that it had opened the probe after a renewed public appeal and recent media coverage led to 90 people coming forward with allegations against al-Fayed, who owned the luxury British department store Harrods between 1985 and 2010
