London - Mr Mohamed al-Fayed is "the biggest crook in town", his former head of security told the High Court yesterday.
Mr Brian Dodd, a one-time SAS man and retired professional bodyguard, told Mr Justice Morland and the jury in the "cash for questions" libel action that he had been "tainted" with the same brush as the former Tatton MP, Mr Neil Hamilton. Mr Dodd (62), a holder of the Military Medal, worked for Mr al-Fayed from March 1984 until August 1986 when, according to the Harrods boss, he was sacked for gross misconduct.
