Police investigated Balnagown Estate former owner Mohamed Al Fayed after sex assault report

Police Scotland have completed enquiries on a report of a “non-recent sexual assault” which involved former Balnagown Estate and Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed.

A year after his death at the age of 94, the Egyptian billionaire - who bought Balnagown Castle in Easter Ross back in 1972 - has been accused of alleged rape by five women, with a number of others alleging sexual misconduct.

A legal team representing alleged victims confirmed on Saturday morning that they have “had over 150 new enquiries” since the airing of a BBC documentary on Mr Al Fayed.

In the programme called Al-Fayed: Predator At Harrods, more than 20 female former employees spoke to the broadcaster as part of a special investigation, coming forward with allegations of assault and physical violence at properties in London and Paris.

According to BBC News, the investigation related to an alleged assault at Mr Al Fayed’s Balnagown Estate property.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Following an investigation into a report of a non-recent sexual assault that took place in Scotland, enquiries are now complete.

“However, should new information be obtained or reported to police, then further enquiries will be carried out.”

After his death, Mr Al Fayed was interred at Barrow Green Court in Surrey.

His son, Dodi, was re-interred on the estate two months after the fatal crash that killed him and Princess Diana in August 1997.
