The legal team representing the alleged victims of the former owner of Harrods, Mohamed Al Fayed, say the case against the late billionaire was a “monster” whose crimes were “enabled” by the high-end department store.

Lawyers representing victims say the store should "take responsibility" after sexual abuse allegations emerge.
