Business mogul Mohammed Al Fayed has been accused of rape by multiple women in a BBC exposé. Al Fayed, who died last year, is accused of sexual assault by more than 20 ex-employees, four of whom say he raped them.

It added: “The Harrods of today is a very different organisation to the one owned and controlled by Al Fayed between 1985 and 2010, it is one that seeks to put the welfare of our employees at the heart of everything we do.” Harrods also apologized to the victims.
