The VAT Commissioner has filed a garnishee order against Mambra for €308,809.

Mambra director Joseph Pavia is believed to have left the island and his family claim they do not know where he is.

The Luqa shop closed down for "a long shutdown" in July but it never re-opened on August 5. It is unclear when Joseph Pavia went missing but his sister, who also worked at the shop, informed employees not to return to work a day before the shutdown was to end.

Official documents deposited with the Registry of Companies show that on June 25 Mambra's auditor resigned and stopped representing the company.

Last year Mambra Electronics was the target of judicial protests filed by the Inland Revenue and VAT departments for taxes due to the government, claimed to be in excess of €600,000.
