He has won a legal battle against The Telegraph, so the newspaper cannot publish his name,

I am guessing since he is a leading british businessman, he is probably internationally known.

quote:

A leading British businessman has won a legal battle in the Court of Appeal to prevent The Daily Telegraph naming him as part of an investigation into harassment.

The newspaper spent eight months investigating allegations of racial abuse, intimidation and sexual harassment made against the businessman by five of his staff members.

All five had been silenced with “settlement agreements” under which they received “substantial payments”, otherwise known as non-disclosure agreements, or NDAs.

The Telegraph draws parallels with Harvey Weinstein’s use of NDAs to pay off accusers, and says that publishing the allegations against the British businessman would “be sure to reignite the #MeToo movement against the mistreatment of women, minorities and others by powerful employers”.

Am I a *cisbigot, chauvinist, evilorangeman supporter if I suggest these claims should be ignored (except by relevant enforcement authorities) if no evidence or witnesses exist?

It's Sir Phillip Green of the Knights of Ni

Lord Peter Hain has named Sir Philip Green as the British businessman at the centre of a sexual harassment injunction scandal.

The Daily Telegraph reported on Tuesday that it had been prevented from identifying a “leading businessman” who had been accused bullying, sexual harassment and racial abuse.
