The Metropolitan Police are facing accusations of failing to uphold their legal obligations to victims of human trafficking linked to former Harrods boss Mohamed Al Fayed. Survivors allege they were not offered referrals to the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) – a crucial pathway to support and protection – when they reported their experiences to the police. This omission potentially violates the force’s duty to identify and assist victims of modern slavery. The allegations center on cases stemming from investigations into Al Fayed’s alleged trafficking of domestic staff. Advocates say failing to connect victims with the NRM can leave them vulnerable and without access to vital resources like counseling, safe housing, and legal aid. The Met Police have not yet responded to specific requests for comment on the accusations, raising further concerns about transparency and accountability. This case highlights potential systemic issues in how law enforcement handles human trafficking cases and victim identification.
