The BBC published a documentary last week in which the late billionaire is accused of several cases of assault. In the documentary, the BBC spoke with over 20 women who worked at the department store Harrods from the 1980s onwards. Several of them testify that they were raped by al-Fayed.
After that, the lawyers representing the victims announced that they have received over 150 new reports related to the allegations against al-Fayed, who passed away last year.
A spokesperson for the prosecution authority said on Sunday that the police presented evidence against al-Fayed regarding sexual assaults in 2009 and 2015.
In 2008, al-Fayed was accused of sexual assault on a 15-year-old girl, and the prosecution authority examined the evidence the following year.
In 2013, the billionaire was accused of raping a woman, which was investigated in 2015.
In both cases, the prosecutors believed that there were no "realistic prospects for a conviction" – and no charges were brought.
