In addition to Mohamed Al-Fayed’s history sexual abuse there have also been allegations of police corruption, with claims that police officers accepted bribes from the Egyptian businessman.
Mohamed Al-Fayed, who passed away in 2023, has been linked with multiple sexual abuse allegations. Since the airing of the BBC documentary Al Fayed: Predator at Harrods, over 200 individuals have come forward, accusing the former Harrods owner of sexual assault, harassment, and rape, with some claims dating back as far as 1977. These cases involve ex-employees at Harrods and other victims. The scandal continues to grow, with the Metropolitan Police reopening investigations into these allegations​. However, a number of allegations have now been made against the Metropolitan Police themselves.
It is alleged that luxury hampers, cash, and other incentives were provided to police officers in exchange for helping Al-Fayed. The claims raise deep concerns about corruption within the police force, casting a spotlight on the abuse of power and preferential treatment of wealthy individuals.
This controversy comes amid ongoing scrutiny of police corruption and institutional failures. It also adds to Al-Fayed’s long history of legal entanglements, controversies, and clashes with authorities. If proven, the allegations could severely damage the public’s trust in the Metropolitan Police and underscore a systemic issue of corruption, where officers prioritise personal gain over their duty to uphold the law.
The core of the investigation revolves around accusations that Al-Fayed weaponised his wealth to coerce officers into assisting him in personal vendettas and targeting ex-employees he viewed as disloyal. This involves retired police officers, raising questions about how deeply such corruption runs, and whether it was restricted to isolated cases or reflects a broader issue. Legal action may follow, with potential criminal charges looming over those implicated.
The scandal could not only tarnish the reputation of the Metropolitan Police but may also fuel public concerns over accountability, transparency, and the ethical integrity of law enforcement. Rebuilding trust will likely be a major challenge for the police as they confront these damaging claims.
