The late former owner of London's luxury department store Harrods has been accused of sexually assaulting dozens of women, including several Americans.

Harrods boss Mohamed al-Fayed was a bully “used to getting his own way” the home secretary who rejected his application for citizenship has said. Jack Straw also told The Independent Fayed was “absolutely furious” after the decision was taken to refuse him a British passport in 1999.
