Harrods is offering six-figure payouts ranging from £110,000 to £200,000 to settle claims from victims of former owner Mohamed al Fayed's sexual abuse. The compensation will cover general damages for sexual assault, aggravated damages, and reimbursement for wrongful testing. Lawyers representing the victims have indicated that there have been over 420 inquiries related to claims against al Fayed, suggesting that Harrods' total compensation bill could amount to tens of millions of pounds. A spokesperson for Harrods noted that it would be premature to comment on the specifics of a scheme that is still under consultation.
