Opatra London and its Hong Kong distributor have suspended local operations following the arrest of senior staff accused of aggressive sales tactics. The British headquarters and distributor in Hong Kong acted after a raid on a corporate secretarial office in Sheung Wan, where financial and administration managers were detained under the Trade Descriptions Ordinance.
Opatra London maintains that the local distributor, Sayles Retail, operates the stores independently. The company's statement emphasized the suspension of the Hong Kong distribution agreement and reassured that the Opatra-branded stores remain under the independent ownership and operation of the local distributor. Despite the suspension, Opatra London affirmed its commitment to maintaining its important market presence in Hong Kong and continued support for its customers in the city.
