Who was Mohamed Al Fayed?published at 09:51 British Summer Time 20 September
A billionaire businessman who owned Harrods between 1985 and 2010, the father of Dodi Fayed who died in a car crash with Princess Diana in 1997, and now - a year after his death - a man accused of raping and sexually assaulting a number of his employees.
Mohamed Al Fayed is known for many things - here's a brief reminder of his life.
Who was he and how did he die?
Fayed, originally from Egypt, built a business empire in the Middle East before moving to the UK in the 1970s - and taking over Harrods in 1985. He also owned Fulham Football Club and the Ritz Hotel in Paris.
He died last year, aged 94, and spent the end of his life largely out of the public limelight, living in his Surrey mansion with his wife.
Where are Fayed's children now?
Fayed had five children - the most famous of which, undoubtedly, was Dodi. He died in 1997, aged 42, alongside Princess Diana in a car crash. The pair had a brief romance in the weeks leading up to their deaths.
Fayed, and his son, became known to a new generation through the two most recent Netflix series of The Crown.
