Five women have accused the former Fulham owner Mohamed Al-Fayed of raping them when they worked at the Harrods department store in the 1990s, according to a new BBC documentary.
A new BBC documentary, entitled Al-Fayed: Predator at Harrods, details allegations from more than 20 female former employees that the Egyptian billionaire, who passed away last year aged 94, sexually assaulted or raped them and then used his status to cover up his actions.
The store’s current owners have apologised for his behaviour and Bruce Drummond, a lawyer representing some of the women, said:
“The spider’s web of corruption and abuse in this company was unbelievable and very dark.”
Everyone has a skeleton hidden in his history cupboard. Past is past, the Fayed family is surely an indeleble part of Fulham’s history, for the good and the bad (including the hideous Michael Jackson statue). Let us look forward and concentrate mostly on what happens on the pitch and leave this chatter alone.
