A former Harrods director told Sky News he does not see how security at the department store "wouldn't have known" about Mohamed al Fayed's behaviour towards women. The ex-director, who reported directly to Fayed, said: "There was security everywhere, all the phones and offices were bugged, with cameras everywhere.

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.

The legal team representing the alleged victims of the former owner of Harrods, Mohamed Al Fayed, say the late billionaire was a “monster” whose crimes were “enabled” by the high-end department store.
