Today’s Times has harrowing details of how Mohamed Al-Fayed abused and raped women throughout his tenure as Harrods supremo and chairman of Fulham Football Club.
The newspaper carries an article from their former chief sports feature writer, Alison Kervin, who was the first female sports editor of a British national newspaper when she took the reigns of the Mail on Sunday back in 2013, tells the stories of some of the women who were mistreated by the Egyptian business tycoon – and how they were threatened by those close to Al-Fayed.
Kervin’s book, The Monster of Harrods: Al-Fayed and the secret, shameful history of a British institution, is published on Friday 5 June, and the unflinching account of Al-Fayed’s activities will pose questions for all those who enabled his behaviour – including the senior executives still in place at Fulham Football Club.
