In a newly published judgment, the Hong Kong Court of First Instance has ordered that three former directors of First Natural Foods Holdings Limited (the Company) be disqualified from acting as directors for up to twelve years and that the former chairman repay more than HK$84 million allegedly embezzled from the Company.
