A group of former Harrods employees has already accused the last surviving brother of Mohamed of sexual violence.

The three women claim that Ali Fayed attacked them, while they were employees in the famous London department store in the nineties when the Fayed Brothers and Harrods ran.

Mr. Fayed, who now lives in the US, 'unambiguously denies any misconduct, with a spokesperson for the 82-year-old who says the BBC that the businessman' will not become a scapegoat 'for incidents who' simply never took place '.

The alleged sexual attacks took place in several countries, including England, Scotland, Switzerland and the United States.

All three women are now calling for a criminal investigation to be opened by the authorities and have said that they felt unable to speak out when the alleged incidents took place.

Prior to the alleged attacks by Ali Fayed, all three women claim that they were also attacked by his older brother Mohamed Al Fayed.

It brings the number of women who have made accusations against the former Harrods chairman to 111, although he was never prosecuted while he was still alive.

Harrods, which has been under new ownership since 2010, said the new allegations further point to the 'width of abuse' by Mohamed Al Fayed and 'raise serious allegations' against his brother Ali.

Speaking with the BBC, all three women spoke about their experiences with Ali Fayed.

One of the women said “his hands were everywhere” and that he only stopped because “one of his little boys began to call him.”

Another of the women, Amy, has apart from her right to anonymity and said that she wants 'a statement' from Mr. Fayed and an understanding of what was going on can help (her) step forward and can step forward and starts to heal '.

The third woman, Frances, also abandoned her anonymity to come forward and talk about her time that worked in Harrods in the Interior Design Studio store.

Frances claimed that not long after her arrival in 1989 in Harrods for Mohamed Al Fayed took to start bullying and to sexually abuse her.

Frances already accused Fayed that she regularly tried to grab her breasts and grab her, Frances said that the former chairman of Harrods was also routinely subject to dirty verbal tirades.

Frances claimed that her alleged abuse by Ali Fayed started in his private office and apartment in 60 Park Lane in Central London.

She added that the Fayed brothers would regularly shower her with gifts in what a 'look' was between offensive behavior and praise.

However, she claimed that the abuse escalated in 1992 when she was flown to Connecticut to discuss interior design plans with Ali Fayed's wife.

Frances remembered that he was staying in one of the guest rooms of the family when Ali Fayed entered her room while she undressed in his own bathroom.

She then claimed that Ali Fayed forced herself on top of her when she entered the bedroom in her underwear, where Mr Fayed put his hands 'in' bra and pants.

On her return to London, Frances claimed that Mohamed “exploded” when he believed that she and his brother Ali Fayed had had sex. From that moment she says that Mohamed's physical abuse stopped Fayed.

Although she said that the abuse of Ali Fayed continued in both his Scottish farm and the private -leading office.

Frances was fired the following year because he had a relationship with another Harrods employee, something with Mohamed Al Fayed is said to be forbidden between the staff. Later she decided an unfair dismissal with the court.

“To this day I suffer from terrible anxiety and panic attacks and I don't like people in my room,” Frances said, adding that the period after her resignation saw her “go underground and close herself.”

Amy, who worked closely for almost three years with Mohamed Al Fayed, said that the former chairman of Harrods abused her there through her period of work there.

When he thought that Al Fayed's behavior was “exactly what a young woman meant, it was a danger of the workplace,” Amy did not report the abuse she had suffered at the time.

After a year or two in her work, Amy said she was instructed to go to Switzerland to help Ali submit and paperwork.

Trail together on a private jet of Harrods, the couple remained in the private chalet of the Fayed family in the resort city of Gstaad.

During the journey, Amy claimed that the couple went to a local swimming pool where Ali Fayed pulled her under the water and started to greech and caress her.

While the alleged attack took place, Amy claimed that Ali Fayed walked her out until she managed to get rid of his grip.

Amy resigned from her position a short period after the trip.

Because she does not want to upset her family and felt that people would not believe her, Amy also chose not to come forward about her alleged attacks.

“By saying nothing, I think it's a coping technique, just to store it … To this day, in certain social situations, I don't want to be noticed, I try to stay invisible,” said Amy.

A third woman named Laura also spoke with the BBC and claimed that she had been attacked by Ali in his private apartment after his sexual harassment of her escalated to serious sexual attack during her time that worked for Harrod's HR department.

Laura said that prior to the attack in his private residence, she donated a bottle of wine from the year that she was born and donated a chain with a value of £ 6,500.

She has never seen again or with Ali interaction after the alleged incident.

All three women are now striving for civil legal steps against Harrods via the Campaign Justice for Harrods Survivors.

Speaking with the BBC, a spokesperson for Ali Fayed stated that the 82-year-old denies all accusations of misconduct: “The alleged incidents have never just taken place. Mr. Fayed is not a perpetrator and will not become a scapegoat.

“He will defend himself robust against these non -supported claims and will not allow false accusations to remain undisputed.”
