Financier Anthony Constantinou, 33, head of financial group Capital World Markets (CWM), is said to have carried out the attacks in the company’s 21st floor office in Heron Tower, the City’s biggest skyscraper, in separate incidents in October 2014 and February this year.
Constantinou, of Wildwood Road, Hampstead Garden Suburb, appeared at the Old Bailey yesterday accused of groping one woman in a stock room, forcibly kissing another employee, and sexually assaulting a third woman by kissing her and grabbing her breasts.
He was just three when his father Aristos, a millionaire fashion tycoon, was murdered in his mansion in The Bishops Avenue in 1985.
The unsolved case was dubbed the “silver bullets murder” due to the six nickel-jacketed bullets that ended Aristos’s rags-to-riches-life.

Constantinou, the youngest of his father’s three sons, has been photographed socialising with Princess Beatrice and showing Princess Anne around his company premises.
