london - Allegations of sexual abuse, fraud, and conspiracy theories have plagued the eccentric and controversial figure Mohammed Al Fayed for decades.

Accusations of sexual abuse have long shadowed Mohammed Al Fayed, dating back to reports in 1997 of his mistreatment of female employees at Harrods. Despite rumors, no official charges were brought, as Al Fayed allegedly intimidated his employees into silence.

A decade later, a former Harrods employee, who was fifteen at the time, made allegations against Al Fayed. The case was dropped by the British Crown Prosecution Service due to conflicting evidence. In a TV documentary years later, the same woman explained her ordeal, joined by another employee who claimed abuse and withdrew her complaints after receiving a payment of sixty thousand pounds.

The controversy extends to Al Fayed's birth, when he claimed to be younger than he was. Born in 1929 in impoverished Alexandria, Egypt, he later added the 'Al' to his name for sophistication.

Al Fayed's fortune grew significantly after marrying the daughter of a wealthy Egyptian, but the marriage dissolved due to his infidelity. Moving to the UK in the 1970s, he built a real estate empire and faced accusations of fraudulent activities during the purchase of Harrods.

Al Fayed's acquisitions included Fulham Football Club, the Paris Ritz hotel, and the former Parisian residence of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, aimed at taunting the British royal family. Despite his efforts to integrate into British high society with donations, controversies persisted, including allegations of bribing Conservative MPs and failed attempts to acquire a British passport.

He gained notoriety with claims of a royal conspiracy in the deaths of his son Dodi and Princess Diana, which official investigations debunked. Fayed persisted with conspiracy theories involving the CIA, leading to his ostracization from British society.

After selling Harrods in 2010 and parting ways with Fulham FC, Fayed's reputation suffered further blows, especially with new allegations of sexual abuse surfacing after his death in 2023. With twenty women coming forward, his legacy seems irreparably tarnished. Fayed now rests, alongside his son Dodi, at Barrow Green Court estate in Oxted, south of the M25 near London.
