Roberto Mac, based in March, Cambridgeshire, was one of two companies visited during a series of dawn raids in October 2013.
Their licence was immediately suspended, and subsequently revoked on 9 January 2014.
Despite this, company director Robert Divkovic has contacted a number of local media outlets in Cambridgeshire claiming he has been “cleared” and complaining about his treatment at the hands of the police and the GLA.
In a statement, the GLA says: “Roberto Mac, was visited and the licence suspended because a number of serious issues had been identified.
“Roberto Mac’s seven breaches of licensing standards – five of them critical – produced a total of 166 points. A licence may be revoked once any total greater than or equal to 30 points has been recorded.”
The licence of another company, Slender Contracting, also based in March, Cambridgeshire, was suspended on the inspection day in October and later revoked with immediate effect.
