敦——调查人员向英国议员透露，已故哈罗德百货商店老板穆罕默德·阿尔·法耶德多年来长期大规模贩卖数十名女性，并与她们发生性关系。
LONDON — Mohamed al-Fayed, the late owner of Harrods department store, engaged over many years in widespread trafficking of dozens of women with whom he had sex, investigators told British lawmakers.
据《卫报》周五报道，根据伦敦大都会警察局近期提供的通报，许多所谓受害者——包括哈罗德百货的年轻售货员——被用直升机等交通工具送往法耶德的住宅及办公室，在那里遭到这位亿万富翁的侵害。另一些受害者则被带往海外与法耶德见面。法耶德的儿子多迪曾与戴安娜王妃交往，两人于1997年在一场车祸中双双丧生。
Many of the alleged victims, including young sales assistants from the Harrods shop floor, were transported to Fayed’s home and offices, at times by helicopter, where they were abused by the billionaire owner, according to a recent briefing by London’s Metropolitan Police, the Guardian reported Friday Get concise answers to your questions.

“阿尔·法耶德案中涉嫌的人口贩卖规模令人震惊，”英国反奴隶制专员埃莉诺·莱昂斯周五在接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时说道。“人口贩卖未必需要跨越国界；它可能就发生在一座城市甚至同一栋大楼里。在这起案件中，部分涉嫌人口贩卖的行为就发生在哈罗德百货内部。”
Other alleged victims were taken to meet Fayed overseas. Fayed’s son Dodi dated Princess Diana and died with her in a car crash in 1997.
穆罕默德·阿尔·法耶德是一位白手起家的亿万富翁，从埃及移民至英国后热衷于融入英国上流社会，他于2023年去世。
“The scale of potential trafficking in the Al Fayed case is deeply shocking,” Eleanor Lyons, Britain’s antislavery commissioner, said Friday in a statement to The Washington Post. “Trafficking does not have to mean crossing borders; it can happen within a city or even within a single building. In this case some of the potential trafficking took place solely within Harrods itself.”Fayed, a self-made billionaire who immigrated from Egypt and delighted in the trappings of the English upper classes, died in 2023.
