The legal team representing the alleged victims of the former owner of Harrods, Mohamed Al Fayed, say the late billionaire was a “monster” whose crimes were “enabled” by the high-end department store.

Multiple former employees told the BBC they had been raped or sexually assaulted by the billionaire businessman, who died last year.

I am walking around feeling terrified of somebody who is dead,” explains Gemma, who has been reliving the moment when she says Mohamed Al Fayed raped her. “He just had that power – I am petrified of someone who is no longer alive”.
