An Athens first instance justice on Monday rejected Folli Follie’s motion for temporary protection from creditors, with the beleaguered Greece-based retailer and accessory maker now facing the prospect of judicial challenges for its assets.

A group representing investors in the country has already filed and received a first injunction against FF, ordering a temporary freeze of assets totalling 2.5 million euros.
