“Victims of abuse by former Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed could receive up to £385,000 in compensation plus treatment costs if they agree to be assessed by a consultant psychiatrist, the luxury department store has said.

Multiple women who worked for Fayed, who died last year, have accused him of rape and sexual assault. Harrods published its compensation scheme on Monday and offered victims a year to apply.

Kingsley Hayes, partner at KP Law working on behalf of Justice for Harrods, which represents at least 260 women, said the scheme "falls short of addressing the true impact on those affected".”

  2. Friend worked there in the 90s. If they compensate every woman who got groped and was groped by Fayed’s mates, that’s going to be pretty much all the female shop staff over 20-odd years. My friend took the advice to work behind the counters in the food hall – out of reach, mostly.

    I sincerely hope it wasn’t nearly as many who suffered worse.

  3. My niece worked at Harrods fr a time – she said Fayed would walk through, pointing at different women and say *’She’s fired, she’s fired, she’s fired…’*
