Mohamed Al-Fayed, the late former owner of Harrods, is accused of sexually assaulting approximately 60 employees, as revealed by a recent BBC documentary.

His son, Omar Fayed, expressed horror and concern over these claims, which have tainted his memories of his father.

Women recounted being targeted by Al-Fayed after undergoing invasive examinations and were allegedly threatened or demoted if they tried to report the abuse.

Al-Fayed's properties in London and Paris were sites of these alleged assaults.

Despite his love for his father, Omar Fayed called for full transparency and accountability, emphasizing that no one is above the law.

Al-Fayed passed away last year at the age of 94.
