Harrods must take responsibility for a string of rapes allegedly committed by the “monster” Mohamed Fayed, lawyers have said.
Barrister Dean Armstrong KC, who is representing some of the tycoon’s reported victims, told a press conference that the case “combines some of the most horrific elements of the cases involving Jimmy Savile, Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein”.
He said: “I have many years of practice... I have never seen a case as horrific as this.
“Savile because in this case, as in that, the institution, we say, knew about the behaviour.
“Epstein because in that case, as in this, there was a procurement system in place to source the women and girls – as you know there are some very young victims.
“And Weinstein, because it was a person at the very top of the organisation who was abusing his power.
“We will say plainly, Mohamed Al Fayed was a monster.”
