It is claimed that the Harrods tycoon would regularly tour the department store’s sales floors to identify young female assistants he found attractive before isolating and attacking them. The new documentary - called Al Fayed: Predator at Harrods - hears claims that the store not only failed to intervene but also helped cover up allegations against Fayed. Harrods’ current owners said they were “utterly appalled” by the allegations, stressing the company today is “very different”.
