During that span, he preyed on female employees he found attractive, promoting them from sales floors to work in his offices, the BBC reported, citing former staff.The assaults would take place in Harrods’ offices, in Fayed’s London apartment, or on foreign trips — often in Paris at the Ritz hotel, which he also owned, or his nearby Villa Windsor property, the BBC said. Al Fayed’s victims and former employees described a pervasive climate of fear at Harrods, and said his predations were known among the staff. Rather than intervene, Harrods helped cover up abuse allegations, according to the BBC.Harrods, now owned by the Qatar Investment Authority, is “utterly appalled by the allegations” against Al Fayed, it said in a statement. “We also acknowledge that during this time as a business we failed our employees who were his victims and for this we sincerely apologize.”Harrods said it has been settling historic claims of abuse by Al Fayed in the quickest way possible, “while ensuring that such behavior can never be repeated in the future.” Unlike during Al Fayed’s era, women are not being asked to sign non-disclosure agreements by current ownership.Al Fayed is perhaps best known outside Britain because of his son, Dodi, who died in a car crash with Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997. (Updates to add Harrods’ remarks were made in a statement)©2024 Bloomberg L.P.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.2","shortVersion":"4.29.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2468795515"}
