For decades, Mohamed Al Fayed was known as the billionaire owner of Harrods and the father of Dodi, who tragically died alongside Princess Diana.
But behind the wealth and public spectacle, a darker truth remained hidden. A 60 Minutes investigation has uncovered allegations that Al Fayed was a serial sexual predator, preying on young and vulnerable women—including at least 14 Australians.
Reporter Tara Brown speaks to survivors and insiders who reveal the disturbing extent of his crimes.
From Nine:
HORROR AT HARRODS
The crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein are well known.
The two rich and powerful men inflicted horrendous abuse on young and vulnerable women who had had the misfortune of entering their orbits, both voluntarily and not.
Now however a new name can be added to this roll call of despicable abusers. Mohamed Al Fayed. Until now he’s been better known as the father of Dodi, who died alongside Princess Diana in 1997.
At the time, Al Fayed senior revelled in baseless conspiracy theories that Dodi and Diana were murdered at the behest of the Royal Family. What wasn’t known back then though was that Al Fayed, the formidable billionaire owner of department store Harrods, was a serial sexual predator.
And as Tara Brown reports in a special edition of 60 Minutes, among the hundreds of women he preyed on there were at least 14 Australians.
