POLICE Scotland have been urged to reopen the investigation into former Harrods boss Mohamed Al-Fayed.

More than 400 allegations of sexual misconduct have been made against Al-Fayed, who died in 2023, dating back to 1977.

But Police Scotland closed the investigation into an allegation of rape at the estate he owned in the Scottish Highlands, saying it could be reopened if new information came to light.

A Westminster all-party parliamentary group (APPG) was set up this week to monitor a Metropolitan Police investigation into allegations made against Al-Fayed, and to push for a full inquiry into the scandal.

APPG co-chairs Wendy Chamberlain, the deputy leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats and a former police officer, and Labour MP Dave Robertson have written to Scotland’s Chief Constable Jo Farrell pushing for the investigation to be reopened, citing the probe set up by the Met.

A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “We have received the letter and will respond in due course.”
