Met Police submit Mohamed Al Fayed case file to prosecutors
- On Monday, Met Police detectives submitted a full evidential file to the Crown Prosecution Service concerning one suspect, a man in his 80s accused of two indecent assaults in London.
- Operation Cornpoppy, launched in November 2024, investigates individuals who may have enabled Fayed's crimes, addressing more than 400 allegations of sexual misconduct dating from 1977 to 2014 against the late Harrods owner.
- Among seven suspects interviewed under caution, the man in his 80s faces allegations of indecent assault; others are investigated for human trafficking and aiding sexual assault offenses.
- CPS prosecutors will now decide whether to bring charges against the suspect, with no timeframe provided for their determination. Officers will continue working closely with the service as the investigation progresses.
- With at least 156 alleged victims contacting the Met directly, the investigation remains complex. Survivor group One Above has urged authorities to secure evidence on all perpetrators, including those involved in recruiting and silencing victims.
