Met Police forward evidence on Al Fayed case to Crown Prosecution Service

Metropolitan Police detectives have compiled and sent a complete evidential file to the Crown Prosecution Service regarding a suspect in his 80s tied to two alleged indecent assaults on women in London. The file will be used to determine whether formal charges can be brought, and it forms part of a broader probe that includes alleged aiding and abetting of rape, sexual assault, and human trafficking for sexual exploitation.

To date, seven suspects have been interviewed under caution, including three women and a man in their 40s to 60s who were questioned earlier this year. The investigation stems from allegations against the late Mohamed Al Fayed, the former Harrods owner who died at 94 without being charged. Co-chairs of the Justice for Fayed and Harrods Survivors group, Jen Mills and Lindsay Mason, praised the submission as a significant step for the two women at the centre of the case. Police will continue to work closely with CPS prosecutors as the case moves forward.
