AN
UNFLINCHING EXPOSÉ OF MOHAMED AL-FAYED'S 25-YEAR REIGN OF TERROR AT HARRODS
DECADES
OF ABUSE.
DOZENS OF
VICTIMS.
NO
CONSEQUENCES.
To the
public, he was the eccentric owner of one of the world’s great department
stores. But behind closed doors, Al-Fayed ruled with cruelty, humiliation and
unchecked abuse.
Why were
his crimes ignored?
Why did
those in power look the other way?
This
explosive investigation lays bare the power, corruption and complicity at the
heart of an iconic British institution.
Drawing
on firsthand interviews with former staff, allies, executives and police
officers, The Monster of Harrods exposes chilling accounts of misconduct, many
revealed here for the first time. Through court records, testimonies and
unpublished material, the book uncovers:
The
irreparable damage to victims’ lives
The NDAs,
threats and systemic failures that kept them silent
The
staggering indifference of those who knew but did nothing
This
isn’t just about one man’s abuse of power – it’s about the culture that enabled
him. The Monster of Harrods presents damning new evidence, and asks urgent
questions of the people and institutions who stood by.
Ultimately,
this is a book about courage – the courage of the survivors who have stepped
forward to reclaim their narratives from a man who tried to reduce them to
objects. Their testimony stands as both an indictment of the past and a warning
for the future.
Their
bravery demands nothing less than our complete attention.
'The
extraordinary courage of these survivors, who, despite everything, were willing
to relive their trauma in hope of finally being heard, should not be
underestimated. Many have waited decades for acknowledgement, carrying their
wounds in silence while their abuser was celebrated.'
