Survivors of alleged sexual abuse connected to former Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed are calling for a wider trafficking-focused investigation. A survivor-led group, No One Above (NOA), says Scotland Yard/Metropolitan Police should broaden its work and make trafficking a central focus to uncover what they describe as the true scale of any alleged network. The Mirror reports the group is also urging the National Crime Agency to create a dedicated unit. The Evening Standard says more than 400 allegations of sexual misconduct have been made against Al Fayed, who died in 2023. The Guardian similarly reports that NOA argues that without a trafficking investigation, the full extent of alleged contacts and activities may remain hidden. Across the coverage, the central demand is for authorities to investigate possible trafficking alongside existing or ongoing inquiries into abuse allegations. No outlet reports formal changes to investigative powers or timelines, but all describe the survivors’ push for a more comprehensive approach.
