Jon Brilliant says Fayed created a culture of fear at the business to ‘mask’ his abusive behaviour
A former Harrods director has claimed he was handed envelopes of cash by Mohamed Al Fayed as part of the billionaire’s plan to control and manipulate senior management and cover up alleged incidents of sexual abuse.
Jon Brilliant, who worked in Fayed’s private office for 18 months, claimed his former boss would sack those he could not control. Managers were let go or quit so often that a national newspaper began to publish a regular count, which reached 48 in 2005, he said.
