UK investigates police handling of sex abuse claims against late Harrods owner Al Fayed.

The UK's Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is overseeing an investigation into the Metropolitan Police's handling of sex crimes allegations against the late Mohamed Al Fayed, former owner of Harrods. The investigation follows 21 allegations made before Al Fayed's 2023 death, with over 100 women now claiming he sexually abused them. The IOPC aims to identify any failures in the initial 2008 investigations. The Met is also probing potential police corruption and individuals who enabled Al Fayed's alleged abuse.
