Al Fayed estate faces legal action from alleged victims

Five alleged victims of abuse by Mohamed Al Fayed are planning to launch legal action against the late billionaire’s estate, solicitors say.
The BBC understands this is the first time the Al Fayed estate has been notified of claims of this kind since allegations of abuse were broadcast in a BBC documentary last year.
Three of the women worked for the late billionaire and former owner of Harrods as nannies and two as private air stewards between 1995 and 2012. They were between the ages of 18 and 30 when they say the abuse occurred.
The Fladgate law firm, which represents the estate, has been contacted for comment.
Leigh Day, the law firm representing the alleged victims, say the women were subjected to “serious sexual abuse, harassment and mistreatment”.
