SURVIVORS of abuse by Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed are calling for a full trafficking investigation to be launched.

More than 400 allegations of sexual misconduct have been made against Mr Al Fayed, dating between 1977 and 2014, including rape, sexual assault, human trafficking, false imprisonment, drugging, physical violence and forced abortions.

Lawyers for the Justice for Harrods Survivors group said 421 people have come forward over abuse at Harrods, the Ritz Hotel Paris, Fulham FC and other sites owned by the billionaire before his death.

The Metropolitan Police are investigating 155 victims through Operation Cornpoppy, which is examining those who may have facilitated or enabled his crimes.

Four people have been questioned to date, 18 months after the investigation opened.

Survivor-led collective No One Above has called on the Met to make trafficking the primary focus, arguing it would expose recruitment chains, financial flows and institutional complicity.

They also want the National Crime Agency to run a parallel joint investigation team to uncover the ring’s international scope.

Justine, a pseudonym, who worked at Harrods for more than three years in the nineties and was trafficked and abused said: “A trafficking investigation would not only talk to the women who ended up sitting on a plane that belonged to Al Fayed, they would be looking at all the steps that placed her in that seat.”

She said Al Fayed could not have acted alone, citing security staff, HR, bankers and doctors who enabled or ignored the abuse.

A Met spokesperson said it is leading “one of the Met’s largest and most complex investigations” and is determined to “bring anyone who is suspected to have played a part in Mohamed Al Fayed’s offending to justice.”
