Brother of late Harrods owner also accused of sexual violence, UK report says
Three women allege that Salah Fayed assaulted them during the period when he owned the London store with Mohammed al-Fayed
Three women formerly employed by Harrods have accused the brother of its late boss Mohammed al-Fayed of sexual violence, following hundreds of similar claims against the former owner of the luxury London store, the BBC reported on Thursday.
They say the late Salah Fayed assaulted them during the period when he jointly owned the department store with his brother, the broadcaster said.
The women alleged they were abused in London, the south of France and Monaco between 1989 and 1997.
The report follows a slew of claims in recent weeks by hundreds of women against the Egyptian former Harrods and Fulham Football Club owner Mohammed al-Fayed of sexual assault including rape.
Salah Fayed died in 2010 and Mohammed al-Fayed died last year aged 94.
One of the three women behind the most recent accusations, named Helen, who waived her right to anonymity, told the BBC that she had been working for the retailer for two years when Mohammed al-Fayed raped her in 1989 during a business trip in Dubai.
