Silminnäkijä: Ryysyillä rikkauksiin?
Exclusive – a 30-minute report by Finnish TV’s channel 2, about UFF in Finland, exposes the links between UFF, the Teachers Group and the senior TG leader Poul Jörgensen, currently serving a jail sentence in Denmark for fraud.
UFF is the sister organisation to Humana, founded in Finland in 1989, and dominates the collection of used clothes and the second hand clothing market in Finland. However UFF Finland is shrouded in secrecy.
”Eyewitness” decided to visit Denmark to gather information about the background of UFF. The programme describes how the Tvind empire saw daylight in Denmark and how idealism turned into greed and led to systematic economic crimes. The programme goes on to reveal that UFF is a tiny link in a vast net of organisations led by the so-called Teachers Group, and also reveals that Poul Jörgensen, the founder of UFF Finland, was sentenced to a 2,5 year jail-sentence for economic crimes in January 2009.
Frede Jakobsen, Danish editor of www.tvindalert.com, was interviewed for the programme.
For more information on the programme and how to watch it until December 3rd see our Finland page or visit http://areena.yle.fi. The TV website and programme are in Finnish.
