An investigation has been launched by British police into potential accomplices linked to the alleged sexual abuse committed by the late Egyptian billionaire Mohamed al-Fayed. Reports suggest that these allegations were supported by a recent BBC documentary.

The documentary claims that al-Fayed, who passed away at 94, systematically abused female staff across various sites under his ownership, including the famed London department store, Harrods. Prior to his death, al-Fayed consistently denied such accusations.

The Metropolitan Police Service expressed their commitment to hearing survivors and seeking justice for the alleged complicity of others involved. Harrods, under fire for allegedly ignoring and covering up abuse during al-Fayed's ownership, has issued an apology and proposed a compensation process for affected employees, which has drawn criticism.
