The current management of Harrods has announced that it is conducting an investigation into whether current executives and staff of the luxury department store were involved in the alleged sexual assaults and rapes of previous owner Mohamed al-Fayed.
Harrods initially referred to the compensation process opened last year for victims of the Egyptian tycoon.
The development coincides with a complaint made to the BBC by a former Harrods employee, who used the name Jessica, about a department head failing to investigate allegations she was sexually assaulted by Al Fayed in 2008, who still works at the department store in a senior role.
The administration also said it is in direct communication with the Metropolitan Police.
At least 20 women reported in a BBC documentary that they were sexually assaulted by their then boss. Five of them reported rape.
At a press conference on Friday, lawyers said they were representing 37 women and later revealed they had been hit by another 150 women who say they were victims of Mohammed al-Fayed.
