THE END FOR HUMANA BELGIUM?
September 2004 - According to reliable information, the not-for profit organisation (asbl/vzw) Humana Belgium is now at the point of liquidation and dissolution by Belgian justice.
The organisation never paid arrears at the National Institute for Social Security (ONSS/RSZ) for an amount of more than 170.000 euro. It also pulled out of warehouses near Ghent, without paying more than 6 months of rent and leaving tons of textile waste behind (cleaning up cost another 25.000 euro).
Earlier this year, the Humana-network of clothes
collection boxes in the country was taken over by a small unknown
non-for-profit organisation, "De Schakel" (= "The Link").
It is unclear if the benefit (for Humana) of this transfer could be
claimed by the creditors.
These events should also be seen in a context of a dramatically
declining market of second hand textile, in Belgium and in other Western
European countries. Prices are at the lowest for decades and the
creation of added value (by sorting and recycling) is moving massively
to Eastern European, Russian and Asian countries. The Tvind-group has
been reorganising its business for years at a macro-level, anticipating
this downward trend. In this strategy, Humana Belgium was not profitable
enough anymore.

BELGIAN MONEY LAUNDERING CASE
February
2004: The Belgian court case
against eight members of the Teachers Group on 5m euro money laundering
has been dropped. To the disappointment of investigators, Belgian
judges ruled there was no case to answer.
HUMANA SHOP SUDDENLY CLOSES
15th January 2004: The shop at Madousquare in Brussels, where Humana was selling second hand textile (and for a while also new clothes from Morocco) during more than 10 years, was suddenly found closed and empty since beginning of this year.
During the glorious years (nineties), Humana hired also offices in the building at Madousquare for its Belgian headquarters, actually established somewhere in the region of Ghent.

HUMANA BELGIUM GOING BANKRUPT?
3rd
April 2003: According to an official document, Humana
Belgium vzw/asbl, now has net arrears of almost 180.000 at the
National Office of Social Security (RSZ/ONSS), and a total debt to RSZ/ONSS,
accumulated since 1999, of more than 1 million.
Also according to confidential (official) information, no arrears have been paid since January of this year, putting at risk the credit plan that Humana arranged with the RSZ/ONSS. The anticipated scenario of judicial liquidation of Humana Belgium vzw/asbl, leaving important debts, seems very close now.

BELGIAN MONEY LAUNDERING CASE IS POSTPONED AGAIN
6th March 2003: The separate Belgian court case against eight members of the Teachers Group on 5m euro money laundering is due to be postponed again, reports Dutch newspaper Trouw.
The case should have started in November last year. It was put back to May 25th, but will be postponed again because the police investigation is not finished yet.
One of the TG members charged is Flemming Gustaffson, who is connected to ConMore BV in Holland, an important Tvind clothes trading company that buys clothes from the Humana organisations in Europe for export.
Mr Gustaffson previously ran EC Trading, another Tvind used clothes trading company, which went bankrupt in 2000 owing £1.4m

BELGIAN MONEY LAUNDERING CASE
February
2004: The Belgian court case
against eight members of the Teachers Group on 5m euro money laundering
has been dropped. To the disappointment of investigators, Belgian
judges ruled there was no case to answer.
HUMANA SHOP SUDDENLY CLOSES
15th January 2004: The shop at Madousquare in Brussels, where Humana was selling second hand textile (and for a while also new clothes from Morocco) during more than 10 years, was suddenly found closed and empty since beginning of this year.
During the glorious years (nineties), Humana hired also offices in the building at Madousquare for its Belgian headquarters, actually established somewhere in the region of Ghent.

HUMANA BELGIUM GOING BANKRUPT?

April 2003: According to an official document, Humana
Belgium vzw/asbl, now has net arrears of almost 180.000 at the
National Office of Social Security (RSZ/ONSS), and a total debt to RSZ/ONSS,
accumulated since 1999, of more than 1 million.
Also according to confidential (official) information, no arrears have been paid since January of this year, putting at risk the credit plan that Humana arranged with the RSZ/ONSS. The anticipated scenario of judicial liquidation of Humana Belgium vzw/asbl, leaving important debts, seems very close now.

BELGIAN MONEY LAUNDERING CASE IS POSTPONED AGAIN
6th March 2003: The separate Belgian court case against eight members of the Teachers Group on 5m euro money laundering is due to be postponed again, reports Dutch newspaper Trouw.
The case should have started in November last year. It was put back to May 25th, but will be postponed again because the police investigation is not finished yet.
One of the TG members charged is Flemming Gustaffson, who is connected to ConMore BV in Holland, an important Tvind clothes trading company that buys clothes from the Humana organisations in Europe for export.
Mr Gustaffson previously ran EC Trading, another Tvind used clothes trading company, which went bankrupt in 2000 owing £1.4m

6th March 2003: The separate Belgian court case against eight members of the Teachers Group on 5m euro money laundering is due to be postponed again, reports Dutch newspaper Trouw.
The case should have started in November last year. It was put back to May 25th, but will be postponed again because the police investigation is not finished yet.
One of the TG members charged is Flemming Gustaffson, who is connected to ConMore BV in Holland, an important Tvind clothes trading company that buys clothes from the Humana organisations in Europe for export.
Mr Gustaffson previously ran EC Trading, another Tvind used clothes trading company, which went bankrupt in 2000 owing £1.4m

Tvind companies in Belgium
Several Tvind companies in
Belgium have given cause for concern. The 'International
Emergency Centre' in Brussels, which Humana UK claimed to have given
£50,000 to, proved untraceable when the Guardian investigated in
1993. more
Another Brussels company, Humana New Clothes asbl, is or was a Tvind company. Probablement dans une 'free processing zone', hors taxes et sans respect de la législation sur le travail. Signalons d'ailleurs l'existance d'une asbl "Humana New Clothes' à Bruxelles, fin des années 80. [Belgian report]

"Hello, We have a few HUMANA collection boxes for old clothes in our municipality of Fourons (Voeren) in Belgium. HUMANA seems to be more active in the North (Flemish-speaking) part of the country. Are the national sections of HUMANA aware of the corruption within their international organisation or are they just innocent victims unaware of where all the money is going? Regards,"

Also according to confidential (official) information, no arrears have been paid since January of this year, putting at risk the credit plan that Humana arranged with the RSZ/ONSS. The anticipated scenario of judicial liquidation of Humana Belgium vzw/asbl, leaving important debts, seems very close now.
