The managing director of Harrods says the London department store is “deeply sorry” for failing employees who say they were sexually assaulted by late owner Mohamed Al Fayed.

Harrods apologized to its employees on Thursday over the late owner Mohamed Al Fayed's alleged sexual abuse. The London department store was bought by Al Fayed, an Egypt-born businessman, in the mid-1980s.

Ongoing enquiries into allegations of sexual abuse against former Harrods chairman Mohamed Al Fayed have unearthed new testimony linked to Fulham FC. Al Fayed, who died aged 94 in August 2023, owned the club between 1997 and 2013.
