Corinth Group of Switzerland: Independent Public-Interest Investigation
This is an independent public-interest investigation into the Corinth Group of Switzerland — a network of entities through which multiple independent complainants allege advance-fee fraud. The investigation spans Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Cyprus, India, South Africa, and Luxembourg.
The Network
The Corinth Group of Switzerland operates through 6 Swiss AGs (all controlled by Jurate Kairiene), UK companies (directed by Alec Theunissen), and formerly a Cyprus RAIF fund (license revoked by CySEC October 2022). Martin Walter Model is identified by multiple sources as the directing mind, despite not appearing on any corporate registry [Swiss commercial register; Companies House; CySEC].
The Allegations
30+ complainants across 7 jurisdictions describe paying EUR 30,000–500,000 in advance fees for investment deals that are never funded. The same pattern has been reported on Ripoff Report (#1134964 in 2014, #1344693 in 2016, #1354982 in 2024, #1541708), Diebewertung.de, and Verbraucherschutzforum Berlin. No complainant has reported receiving funded investment or refund of fees [public complaint platforms].
Why This Investigation Exists
Despite 12+ years of complaints, no regulatory or law enforcement agency has taken public action against the Corinth Group. The network continues to operate, collect fees, and rebrand. This investigation documents publicly available evidence to inform potential victims, regulators, and journalists [investigation assessment].
