Harrods is addressing over 250 compensation claims from women alleging historical sexual misconduct by former owner Mohamed Al Fayed. These claims emerged following a BBC documentary revealing decades of abuse allegations against him. Harrods has expressed regret and is conducting investigations into the matter. The Metropolitan Police previously evaluated some allegations but did not pursue charges due to insufficient evidence. Al Fayed passed away in 2023.
