Woman says Al Fayed's brother drugged and sexually abused her at Highland estate: BBC
Jill said she was flown to the estate on the family’s private jet and that police have identified three people in ongoing inquiries.
- Speaking to BBC Scotland, Jill described how Salah Fayed trafficked, drugged, and sexually assaulted her at his Balnagown Estate in the Highlands, calling him 'a very cruel man' who exploited her vulnerabilities.
- Before working for Salah Fayed, she was employed at Harrods, where she hoped the transfer would be safer, as 'Mohamed seemed creepy to me,' according to her account to the BBC.
- More than 400 victims have come forward regarding the Fayed family since 2024. Jill alleged Salah Fayed forced her to take illegal drugs, stating, 'He lied about what it was and when I refused he screamed at me.'
- Police Scotland identified three people in connection with offending at Balnagown Estate, while the Metropolitan Police interviewed seven suspects for human trafficking and sexual assault offences. Authorities are assessing testimonies to determine the full scope of alleged trafficking.
- Wendy Chamberlain, MP for North East Fife, called Jill's testimony 'very powerful,' suggesting a wider network of enablers facilitated the abuse. Harrods established a redress scheme, though Jill noted compensation offers only a 'partial refund' for decades of impact.
