Lawyers representing at least 37 women have announced plans to file a civil case against Harrods, citing the store's role in enabling sexual abuse by its former owner, Mohamed al-Fayed.
Dean Armstrong, one of the lawyers, stated, 'Mohamed al-Fayed was a monster enabled by a system, a system that pervaded Harrods.' He emphasized that this system fostered an unsafe work environment.
Armstrong continued, 'Mr. Al-Fayed was enabled by unsafe systems of work which Harrods established, maintained, certainly acquiesced to, and, we say, facilitated during his chairmanship.'
In response to the allegations, Harrods expressed their shock, stating they were 'utterly appalled by the allegations of abuse perpetrated by Mohamed al-Fayed.'
