FIVE COMPANIES STARTED IN 1991
Five companies were all registered on the same day in May 1991:
Camberley Ltd**
Chatswood Ltd**
Radmoor Ltd**
Rivalta Ltd
Transco Shipping Ltd
Danish police identified Camberley, Chatswood and Radmoor as central to the Tvind Teachers Group economy (subsidiaries of two Jersey trusts). No further information.
Transco Shipping was the most important Teachers Group sales office exporting clothes from Amsterdam to West Africa during 1991-2003. The clothes were exported to local agents in Togo, Benin and Ghana. The scam was identical to that described in this account: An insider reveals the European clothes scams of 1990-2000
All have now been wound up.
