- The Home Office has confirmed that five survivors of sexual abuse by late Harrods owner Mohamed Al-Fayed are victims of human trafficking, receiving conclusive grounds decisions from the National Referral Mechanism.
- Abuse occurred across entities Al-Fayed controlled, including his yachts, the Ritz Paris, and properties spanning France, Monaco, and the UAE; survivor Isabella described this as a "wider network of perpetrators."
- Four members of advocacy group No One Above—Isabella, Justine, Elizabeth, and Margo—received conclusive grounds decisions between May and July after being recruited into false roles or domestic positions at Hyde Park Residence.
- The Metropolitan Police are investigating facilitators under Operation Cornpoppy, having questioned six people so far, while at least 156 victims have contacted the Met directly with allegations of sexual assault, rape, or trafficking.
- Survivors reject claims that abuse was solely "one bad man," arguing Harrods processed women for exploitation; these legal decisions provide concrete confirmation challenging previous corporate narratives about Al-Fayed's conduct.
