Evidence against Mohamed Al-Fayed — the late Harrods owner accused of multiple rapes —was previously presented by police to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in 2009 and 2015, though the organization determined there was not a 'realistic prospect of conviction' both times.

Lawyers in Britain representing dozens of women say that Mohamed Al Fayed — the former boss of Harrods — was a “monster” who raped and sexually abused young women throughout his time at the helm of the world-renowned London department store.

Al Fayed's pursuit for capital began on the streets of Alexandria, Egypt, where he sold fizzy drinks to passers-by. He made a breakthrough when he met his first wife, Samira Khashoggi, who was the sister of a millionaire Saudi arms dealer that helped him create new connections and go into shipping to expand his empire.
