Recent legal determinations have confirmed that at least five people were victims of modern slavery while working under the late Mohamed Al Fayed. These findings follow a series of investigations into allegations of abuse and exploitation within the billionaire's business empire. The rulings highlight a range of circumstances, including victims who were trafficked internationally to work for Al Fayed, as well as individuals trafficked within the United Kingdom.

Of particular note is a case identified by investigators that took place entirely within the premises of Harrods, the luxury London department store formerly owned by Al Fayed. While the BBC report focuses on the confirmation of these slavery statuses, it does not detail the specific legal mechanisms or the exact timeline of the investigations that led to these designations. The confirmation of these victims marks a significant development in the ongoing scrutiny of Al Fayed’s conduct, moving beyond allegations of sexual assault toward formal recognition of human trafficking and modern slavery offenses. As these cases continue to emerge, the focus remains on the systemic nature of the exploitation and the failure of internal oversight during Al Fayed's tenure.
