The Metropolitan Police was allegedly told of sexual misconduct accusations against Mohamed Al Fayed a decade earlier than the force initially acknowledged.

Samantha Jay-Ramsay’s family said she was harassed and sexually assaulted by Mr Al Fayed while she worked at his Knightsbridge department store, Harrods, at the age of 17, and reported his behaviour to the Met in 1995.
