Claims from 275 survivors alleging sexual abuse by Mohamed Al Fayed could total between £100m and £150m, according to law firm KP Law. This figure is two to three times the £51.8m Harrods had set aside for compensation as of January 2026.

The Home Office has confirmed five survivors of Mohamed Al Fayed’s abuse as victims of human trafficking, including four former Harrods employees. Decisions issued between May and July 2026 follow referrals by charity Unseen UK, with survivors describing systemic exploitation across Al Fayed’s businesses and properties.
