Philip Green allegedly subjected people working in his business empire to abuse and other inappropriate behaviour that was at times racial, physical and sexual, according to a report. In some cases, Green is alleged to have paid people large sums of money in return for their silence. The paper reported last October that an unidentified businessman had obtained an injunction against it. The employee later accepted a £1m payment on condition that he signed a gagging order, the Telegraph reported. Green’s lawyers told the paper he was a “passionate businessman, who can at times be overexuberant and hot-headed”.
