UK billionaire named in harassment claims
London (CNN)Philip Green, the billionaire chairman of Arcadia group, the retail empire that includes Topshop, has been named in the UK parliament as the subject of abuse claims.
A member of the House of Lords, Peter Hain, named the businessman after the Daily Telegraph newspaper was prevented from doing so by a court order obtained by Green.
Hain was able to name the businessman because members of the UK parliament are protected from defamation claims. He said it was his “duty” to reveal Green’s name because the allegations related to “serious and repeated sexual harassment, racist abuse and bullying which is compulsively continuing.” He had been contacted by someone “intimately involved” in the case, he said.
