Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Mohamed Al Fayed Compensation Claims Could Reach £150 Million, Lawyers Say
Caption: Mohamed Al Fayed Compensation Claims Could Reach £150 Million, Lawyers Say. Compensation claims involving alleged abuse by former Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed could total as much as £150 million, according to law firm KP Law. The firm represents more than 275 survivors and says potential claims could be more than double or triple the amount Harrods has allocated for its redress scheme. Harrods had paid £4.1 million in compensation by the end of January 2026 and set aside another £51.8 million for future claims. KP Law said its £150 million estimate includes women who chose not to participate in the Harrods redress scheme, which closed on March 31. Lead partner Kingsley Hayes criticised the scheme as "not fit for purpose", saying almost all of the firm's clients decided against participating. Harrods previously said it supported survivors coming forward and encouraged them to explore every available avenue in their pursuit of justice. More than 400 allegations of sexual misconduct dating from 1974 to 2014 have been made against Al Fayed and other alleged perpetrators connected to him. The Metropolitan Police's Operation Cornpoppy is investigating people who may have facilitated or enabled Al Fayed's alleged crimes.
