British police say there are now 90 victims who have come forward with allegations of abuse against the late billionaire and former Harrods owner.
London 's Metropolitan Police Service said it has launched a new investigation into whether people linked to Mohamed Al Fayed helped enable his alleged sexual abuse of female staff.
"As a result of their assessment so far, specialist crime detectives have launched an investigation into a number of individuals associated with Al Fayed," "We are now pursuing any individuals suspected to have been complicit in his offending, and we are committed to seeking justice. Harrods has apologised for the allegations and said it has launched a process for any current or former Harrods employees who wished to claim compensation, although the plan has been criticised by victims' lawyers.Lawyers representing victims have said the alleged abuse took place not just at Harrods but also in other locations linked to Al Fayed's business empire, such as Fulham Football Club, the Ritz Paris hotel and his estate in Surrey, and that more than 400 people had come forward.
