The former owner of Harrods allegedly committed the crimes not just at the world famous department store and his London penthouse but at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, as well as in France, America and Canada.

His accusers are British, American, Canadian, French, Malaysian and from the UAE, according to Bruce Drummond, who was already representing 37 women before the airing of a BBC documentary Al-Fayed: Predator At Harrods on Thursday which has prompted 150 more allegations.

Yesterday it also emerged that extra precautions were put in place to protect Fulham’s women’s football team from the club’s late owner.

In the documentary, 20 female ex-employees of Harrods said the billionaire, who died last year aged 94, sexually assaulted or raped them.

Fayed owned Harrods from 1985 to 2010, and owned Fulham FC from 1997 to 2013.
