More than 100 victims of Mohamed Al Fayed’s abuse have entered a compensation scheme opened by Harrods on 31 March, the luxury department store has confirmed.

Harrods started issuing compensation at the end of April and the scheme remains open for new applications until 31 March 2026.

Eligibility for the scheme has been extended to employees of one of Fayed’s private airline companies, Fayair (Jersey) Co Ltd, Harrods said.

Harrods also said that it has filed a case at the High Court asking for the executors of Fayed’s estate to be replaced following the lack of “any progress” in resolving his affairs since he died in 2023.

This is to “ensure the Estate is responsibly administered, [and to] to protect any assets in the Estate for the benefit of potential claimants”, Harrods said.

The BBC has contacted representatives of the Fayed family for comment.

Harrods also said that “feedback from survivors continues to be listened to whether raised directly or via legal firms or Dame Jasvinder Sanghera, the Independent Survivor Advocate”.

Multiple women who worked for the former department store owner who died last year have accused him of rape and sexual assault.

In March Harrods said victims of abuse by the former Harrods owner could receive up to £385,000 in compensation plus treatment costs if they agree to be assessed by a consultant psychiatrist.

Survivors who do not choose to be medically assessed by a psychiatrist will receive lower payments.

The BBC’s Al Fayed: Predator at Harrods heard testimony from more than 20 female ex-employees at Harrods who said Fayed sexually assaulted or raped them.

Dozens more women sent the BBC their accounts of abuse by Fayed including sexual harassment, sexual assault and rape after the documentary and podcast were published in September.

Fayed was not charged before his death.
