Meanwhile, the Lux Boutique outlet at Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui, which is operated by the same company, was boarded up and locked on Thursday.
A check by the South China Morning Post found that Sayles Retail filed a “Notice of Resignation of Company Secretary and Director” with the Companies Registry on Wednesday.
The document’s status was listed as “pending”, meaning its details were not yet available.
According to Sayles Retail’s company particulars, Ascentium Secretary (HK) – which was raided by customs on Tuesday – is the company secretary, while Omri Sayles, Yehonathan Naftali Gamliel and Avraham Avi Dotan are listed as directors.
The filing came on the same day that Hong Kong customs officers arrested two staff members from Sayles Retail, which operates under the Opatra London brand, amid controversy over its alleged aggressive sales tactics.
