Around 60 women have come forward and are accusing the former Harrods owner Mohamed al-Fayed of sexual abuse and rape, according to their legal representatives.

"The response has simply been enormous… We can confirm that we now represent 60 survivors as part of our claim, and more are coming", they state in a statement.

Recently, BBC published a documentary where billionaire al-Fayed was accused of raping several women who worked at the department store Harrods from the 1980s onwards. Since then, many new allegations have emerged.

A work is currently underway to gather accusations against the department store for having enabled "systematic abuse" against its employees – many of them employed as al-Fayed's personal assistants and secretaries over a period of 25 years.
