Overview

Centropa Investment Holdings Ltd (company number 12886659) was a UK company registered at Lonsdale Gate, Tunbridge Wells, Kent [Companies House, UK, company 12886659]. The company was dissolved in November 2022, and the timing of this dissolution is highly significant to the broader investigation.

Marco Ernst Model — the son of Martin Walter Model, identified by multiple third-party sources as the directing mind behind the Corinth Group — served as the sole Person with Significant Control with 75%+ shareholding [Companies House PSC register]. Marco Model, born July 1990 and of Swiss nationality, represents the second generation of Model family involvement in the corporate network [Companies House records].

The dissolution timing is notable: Centropa was dissolved in the same month that CySEC revoked the AIFM license of Corinth Fund Management Ltd (AIFM48/56/2013) in October 2022 [CySEC AIFM register; Companies House dissolution records]. The Corinth Capital RAIF (HE 409232) was subsequently dissolved in January 2023. This pattern of synchronised corporate actions across jurisdictions — Cyprus license revocation followed immediately by UK entity dissolution — is consistent with a coordinated shutdown response to regulatory action rather than coincidental timing.

The company name "Centropa" does not appear in the Corinth or Three Tuns branding sequences, suggesting it may have been intended to operate at arm's length from the main brand identities. However, the PSC being Martin Model's son, combined with the Tunbridge Wells registration (the same area as the Three Tuns entities at Pluto House), and the synchronised response to CySEC regulatory action, places this entity firmly within the Corinth corporate network [Companies House; Swiss Commercial Register; CySEC register]. Third-party complainants have identified Marco Model as representing "the next generation" within the corporate structure, noting his 75%+ control of this entity as evidence of continued family control across the entire network of entities.

The timing of Centropa's dissolution — the same month as CySEC's license revocation of Corinth Fund Management Ltd — is consistent with a coordinated response to regulatory enforcement action. Investigators may wish to examine whether assets were transferred out of Centropa prior to its dissolution [Companies House; CySEC AIFM register].
