This Sunday, “60 Minutes Australia” takes a dark turn, shifting from its usual mix of human interest stories and celebrity interviews to expose the alleged predatory behavior of a man once known primarily as a grieving father: Mohamed Al Fayed. The former Harrods owner, who became a household name after the death of his son, Dodi, alongside Princess Diana, is now at the center of a chilling investigation into accusations of alleged serial sexual abuse.
Presented by Tara Brown, “Horror At Harrods” reveals a pattern of alleged abuse spanning years, with at least 14 Australian women claiming to be among Al Fayed’s victims. The report draws unsettling parallels between Al Fayed and convicted sex offenders Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein, suggesting a similar abuse of power and influence.
Al Fayed, once known for promoting conspiracy theories about the deaths of his son and Princess Diana, will now face scrutiny for his own actions. The “60 Minutes Australia” team, led by producer Anne Worthington, has compiled a report that aims to give voice to the survivors and expose the alleged truth behind the opulent façade of Harrods.
This looks to be a disturbing yet essential piece of investigative journalism. “Horror At Harrods” airs this Sunday, March 9th, at 8:45 PM on Channel 9 and 9Now.
