Police interview man in Mohamed Al Fayed sex abuse probe

Police have interviewed a man as part of their investigation into former Harrods boss Mohamed Al Fayed.

The suspect, aged in his 60s, was questioned under caution on suspicion of aiding and abetting rape and human trafficking, the Metropolitan Police said. 

Multiple women have accused Al Fayed, who owned Harrods, the Ritz Paris Hotel and Fulham FC, of rape and sexual assault between 1985 and 2020.

Police say some 154 people have now come forward to report allegations of sexual abuse against Al Fayed, who died in 2023 aged 94. 

The interview follows that of three women who were quizzed by detectives between February 25 and March 5, also on suspicion of aiding and abetting rape and sexual assault, assisting the commission of sexual offences and human trafficking for sexual exploitation.

Police said no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
