Egyptian multi-millionaire Mohammed Fayed is facing a renewed allegation that he raped a young woman
Former Harrods owner Mohammed Fayed has been accused of raping a young woman. He was questioned at the time of the original allegation which was originally made by a 20-year-old woman in 2013.
No further action was taken.
However, a Metropolitan police spokesman said, “The matter was not proceeded with at the time. However, we are reassessing the original investigation as a result of new information.”
Fayed strenuously denies the allegations.
A spokesman for Fayed said, “In response to an allegation made against him in 2013, Mohammed Al-Fayed expressed his dismay and disappointment that a request by the complainant had been made to The Metropolitan Police Service to have the case reviewed.”
Fayed said, “I am saddened that, after extensive investigations by The Metropolitan Police Service in 2013, the original complainant feels compelled to request the MPS to review their original decision. I fully co-operated with the MPS during their initial investigations after which no charges were brought against me and the file was closed.”
“As I said originally, I completely deny any wrongdoing in this matter and refute the complainant’s allegations.”
His spokesman added, “The Metropolitan Police today confirmed no new evidence had been offered by the complainant and they fully expect their review to be completed early next week.”
