Two individuals in their eighties have been interviewed under caution as part of an ongoing investigation related to former Harrods owner Mohamed al-Fayed. The Metropolitan Police confirmed that a woman and a man were questioned this week on suspicion of aiding and abetting rape and sexual assault, as well as assisting in the commission of sexual offences.
The investigation surrounds allegations made against al-Fayed, who has been accused by hundreds of women of rape and sexual assault. Despite the volume of accusations, al-Fayed has never faced charges in connection with these claims.
The Metropolitan Police have not disclosed further details regarding the identities of the individuals questioned or their roles in the alleged offences. The inquiry appears to be focused on potential support provided to facilitate the alleged sexual offences.
Authorities continue to investigate the case as part of wider efforts to address historic allegations of sexual misconduct involving prominent figures. The development marks the latest phase in a complex and lengthy investigation into accusations that span several decades.
