Ritz among Paris landmarks searched in Al-Fayed trafficking probe say prosecutors

French authorities have searched properties linked to Mohamed Al-Fayed as part of an investigation into an alleged international trafficking network. The probe, initiated in 2025, aims to uncover accomplices involved in trafficking women for the late billionaire. Investigators have also examined Al-Fayed's former property in Saint-Tropez. Despite multiple complaints, Al-Fayed faced no charges during his lifetime. The investigation focuses on claims of aggravated human trafficking and has involved interviews with several complainants. This inquiry is connected to broader allegations of sexual abuse involving Al-Fayed.
