CHANNEL 5 EXAMINE THE CRIMES OF MOHAMED AL-FAYED FOR NEW DOCUMENTARY
Channel 5 have reportedly commissioned a new documentary which will examine the crimes committed by Mohamed Al-Fayed.
The Egyptian billionaire businessman, who died in 2023 aged 94, is accused of multiple counts of rape and attempted rape by the women who worked for him. At the time of many of the alleged attacks, Al Fayed was the owner of London’s luxury department store Harrods, the iconic Ritz Paris hotel and English football club Fulham FC.
A source told The Sun: "Having a documentary made by this calibre of creative teams adds some heft to the project and is guaranteed to really scrutinise Fayed’s dark history...
Little Gem didn’t just dramatise the story of the Horizon software scandal that saw hundreds of Post Office staff treated abominably by their bosses, they also made a factual show. This opens up the prospect of them potentially turning the story of Fayed into a drama too, one which would no doubt be snapped up by Channel 5 as well."
In a separate documentary, the BBC heard testimony from over 20 survivors, with 13 featured in the film. With horrifying accounts of abuse that spanned Al Fayed’s 25-year reign at Harrods, for the first time the scale and seriousness of these allegations are exposed, as well as the system that helped cover it up.
More details will be announced in due course.
