Prosecutors linked to Al-Fayed are presented with 150 fresh pieces of evidence pertaining to alleged assaults.
The case involving accusations of sexual misconduct towards women by the late billionaire Al-Fayed is gaining traction. A legal squad is currently advocating for 37 women. Nevertheless, further individuals are stepping forward, announcing themselves as victims or in possession of proof.
The legal team representing 37 supposed victims of sexual misconduct by the late Egyptian entrepreneur Mohamed Al-Fayed has received over 150 new reports. These include "victims and individuals with proof" against Al-Fayed, the team stated. The new reports have been submitted since the airing of a BBC documentary on the case on Thursday evening.
In the documentary titled "Al Fayed: Predator at Harrods" (roughly translated as "Al-Fayed: The Predator at Harrods"), five previous Harrods workers declared they were sexually assaulted by the businessman, five more claimed attempted sexual assault, and 13 more said they experienced sexual harassment from their boss. The company has now put a form on its website for affected individuals to fill out.
The misconduct was not confined to Harrods, according to the lawyers. It also took place at the Parisian Ritz hotel and in Al-Fayed's Parisian residence - as well as during his travels. Some of the plaintiffs were minors at the time of the incidents.
Mohamed Al-Fayed was the father of Dodi Al-Fayed, who perished in a car crash in Paris in 1997 alongside Diana, the former wife of the then British heir to the throne, Prince Charles. Mohamed Al-Fayed passed away last year at the age of 94.
The legal team representing the victims is seeking justice not only within the United Kingdom but also in locations where Al-Fayed had a presence, such as the Parisian Ritz hotel and his residence in Paris.
Given the allegations against Mohamed Al-Fayed, the United Kingdom has become a center for discussions on his misconduct, with the BBC documentary and subsequent reports adding to the global conversation.
