More than 420 people have contacted lawyers investigating alleged sexual abuse by Mohamed al-Fayed, they have revealed, as they warned anyone seeking to avoid liability: “We are coming for you”.

Fayed, who died last year aged 94, was accused by more than 20 women of sexual assault in a BBC documentary which aired last month, including five women who said they were raped by the late Harrods and Fulham FC owner. That abuse is alleged to have taken place in London, Paris, St Tropez and Abu Dhabi.
