Met Criticised Over Plan to Give Alleged Fayed Victims Video Update

The comments by Dame Jasvinder Sanghera, who was appointed by Harrods as an independent survivors' advocate, came as it was reported that the Met had written to the women apologising for the distress they had suffered, especially as Fayed would never face justice.

Dozens of women have come forward with allegations of abuse by the late Harrods owner going as far back as 1977, with numbers steadily increasing since the broadcast last year of the BBC documentary Al Fayed: Predator at Harrods.
