Who Is Alec Theunissen at the Corinth Group?
Alec Louw Theunissen (born April 1966, South African national) is listed as Managing Director on the Corinth Group website and his LinkedIn profile. Based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, he operates as the primary UK-facing contact for the Corinth Group of Switzerland, which is headquartered at Stadtgartenweg 6, 7000 Chur [corinthinvest.com; LinkedIn; Companies House].
His Role in the Alleged Fraud Pattern
According to multiple independent complainants, after Martin Walter Model conducts the initial pitch meeting in Chur, Alec Theunissen takes over as the client's primary point of contact. He manages term sheet execution, fee collection through UK special purpose vehicles, and ongoing client communication. Complainants describe fees ranging from EUR 30,000 to EUR 500,000, with no deals ever funded [Ripoff Report #1134964; Diebewertung.de; complainant accounts 2014–2026].
Corporate Infrastructure
Theunissen has been director of 32+ UK companies in the Corinth network, of which 30+ are dissolved or in liquidation. His current primary entity is Three Tuns Investment Holdings Ltd (14242045). His previous Corinth entity — Corinth Management Services Ltd (12297863) — was placed into compulsory liquidation by court order in January 2026 after never filing a single set of accounts [Companies House].
Connection to Martin Walter Model
While Martin Walter Model does not appear as a registered director or PSC of any entity in any corporate registry, complainants consistently identify him as the directing mind behind the network. Theunissen operates the UK corporate structure under Model's direction, according to these accounts. The pattern — Model in Switzerland, Theunissen in the UK — has persisted through multiple corporate rebrands: Curatio Capital, Corinth Group, and Three Tuns [complainant accounts; Companies House; Swiss commercial register].
