Metropolitan Police Commander Angela Craggs called the update an important step in a complex, far-reaching inquiry and stressed that victims remain at the center of the investigation.

Prior to his death, a suspect faced a rape allegation in 2013; prosecutors weighed charging decisions in 2008 and 2015, with further inquiries in 2018, 2021, and 2023 that were not pursued.

The inquiry into allegations surrounding Mohamed Al Fayed has expanded to include 154 complainants and three women previously questioned on suspicions of aiding and abetting rape, sexual assault, and human trafficking for sexual exploitation.

A man in his 60s has been interviewed under caution by the Metropolitan Police as part of the investigation into individuals who may have facilitated or enabled offences connected to Al Fayed.

Police say no arrests have been made so far and the inquiry continues, with accounts from accusers and other witnesses contributing to the proceedings.

Officials note updates will be released when they do not risk jeopardising the case, and ongoing information-sharing will respect the integrity of proceedings.

Craggs reiterated that victims stay central to the case and urged anyone with information to come forward, with updates provided as appropriate.

The police have not disclosed the suspect’s identity or offered additional details about the case beyond confirming the ongoing inquiry.

Around 30 survivors joined a virtual meeting with the All Party Parliamentary Group for Survivors of Fayed and Harrods to voice concerns about the effectiveness of public inquiries and trafficking conviction rates.
