Boohoo did not comment on the report into the Leicester scandal, which was published on Friday, saying that it had already addressed the matter and outlined the steps it plans to take going forward.
However, the company’s founder billionaire Mahmud Kamani has faced intense scrutiny and pressure to resign due to the scandal.
Investors are also worried that Boohoo’s plans to establish its own UK factory could eat into its profit margins given the higher pay scales in Britain as opposed to other countries.
