Close relationship between Mohamed al Fayed and police 'felt corrupt', says former detective The Metropolitan Police would "provide additional resources at Christmas" and in return "hampers were provided" and police "Christmas parties had lots of drinks paid for", former chief superintendent Stephen Otter told Sky News. Asked if the Met officers were corrupt, Mr Otter said: "I think they probably were, and I think the culture was that the police were welcome to come in and have food for free." The Metropolitan Police declined to comment, with a spokesperson saying: "Given the length of time since the events... we aren't able to provide a response." Is that your best answer? Seriois allegations of corruption, you're not interested? Too long ago?
The Metropolitan Police only asked prosecutors to decide whether to charge Mohamed Al Fayed in relation to two out of 21 women who accused him of sexual offences while he was alive, the BBC has established. It raises serious questions about the Met’s response to women who said they were abused by the former Harrods owner, who died aged 94 last year. Scotland Yard refused to answer the BBC’s questions about how many women it sought charging decisions on, but the Crown Prosecution Service has now provided the information. The CPS has now told the BBC that, in 2009, it made a charging decision on two allegations of sexual assault in relation to one female complainant. Then, in 2015, it made a charging decision on one allegation of rape and an allegation of aiding and abetting rape by one female suspect. These allegations related to a different female complainant. It means the Met did not pass full files of evidence to prosecutors on 19 of the women who approached them, nor did the two files it did pass contain complaints from other women whose evidence could have potentially provided corroboration. Many people will be astonished that a man could be accused of sexual offences by 21 women and not be charged. Given that 40 further women have approached the Met since the BBC film, there are now mounting questions about the quality of the Met’s earlier enquiries. These include why the Met did not link the different cases or launch a larger investigation that might have found other women who have now come forward. The Met has previously said it also approached the CPS on three additional occasions for “early investigative advice” in relation to Al Fayed. These three occasions did not involve the CPS being asked to make charging decisions on full files of evidence. My question is whether the Met is actually corrupt or just utterly clueless? Why won't Sir Mark come out and face the music? Trust in the Met is reaching an abysmal level for many people.....
The Met Police need to come clean now about Mohamed Al-Fayed and his crimes. How many allegations did the Met Police receive during his lifetime? What is it doing now to investigate other individuals who are alleged to have assisted him? What support will it be providing to victims? Did its original investigations come up to standard?

@Metropolitan Police my question is, what is causing this psychopathic and or sociopath behaviour? collectively at the met what do you all individually think is causing all this malevolence? I wish Oscar wild was still alive at this time because i know he'd have huge amounts to say about all this, same with Charles dickens, and so many more, ps, some of my history, i was once taken for a ride in a rolls Bentley and that was the same Bentley that was used to Chauffeur Kenneth Oxford.

We now need a Public Inquiry into The Metropolitan Police, its relationship with Al Fayed and why he was never prosecuted for a single sex attack.
