Metropolitan Police 'truly sorry' to Mohamed Al Fayed victims as detectives set to give update on investigation
Briefly

Scotland Yard is conducting an investigation into 40 allegations of sexual misconduct against the late Mohamed Al Fayed, including rape. The investigation, which began in September 2022, currently has no definitive timeline. To communicate updates, the Met will send a video statement to alleged victims but will not hold in-person meetings due to anonymity concerns. Detective Chief Superintendent Angela Craggs acknowledged the distress of the victims and expressed regret over the suspect's inability to face justice. Some accusers voiced concerns regarding the investigation's thoroughness and the potential for unanswered questions.
Detective Chief Superintendent Angela Craggs, who is leading the Met's investigation, said she was "acutely aware the case is especially distressing to all those who have suffered" and expressed regret that the main suspect will never face justice for his crimes.
Pelham Spong, a complainant, expressed skepticism about the handling of the case, stating, "My fear is that most of our questions will remain unanswered, and we'll merely be given vague promises of change and accountability with no real action."
