If you have paid advance fees to a Corinth Group entity and received no services, this page outlines the documented recovery paths available to you.

The Article 26 Refund Clause

Known Corinth Group term sheets include an Article 26 provision stating that fees shall be returned if the transaction does not proceed. This clause exists in multiple contract variants (LEF 2, LDF 1, LDF 2). If your contract contains this clause, it may provide a contractual basis for demanding a refund [Contract documents reviewed].

Immediate Steps

  1. Contact your bank’s fraud department — Report the transaction as suspected fraud. Several banks have confirmed that fraud insurance may cover advance-fee losses. The receiving bank for Corinth Group payments is UBS Switzerland — you can also report to UBS Compliance (+41 44 234 11 11).
  2. File a criminal complaint — In Switzerland: Strafanzeige with Staatsanwaltschaft Graubuenden under Art. 146 StGB (Betrug). This is free. In the UK: Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk) and the Insolvency Service. In your home jurisdiction: contact national fraud reporting.
  3. Demand refund in writing — Citing Article 26 of your term sheet, formally demand return of all fees paid. Send via registered mail to the entity's registered address.
  4. Report to regulators — FINMA (Switzerland), FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus) depending on which entity you engaged.

Legal Recovery

One complainant has documented recovering EUR 300,000 of EUR 400,000 paid through legal action. Swiss civil recovery proceedings can be initiated through a Swiss lawyer. UK proceedings can be filed in the High Court or County Court. Cross-border enforcement of judgments is possible through the Lugano Convention (UK-Switzerland) [Complainant reports].

Coordinate with Other Complainants

Multiple victim groups are known to exist across Europe, South Africa, India, and North America. Coordinated complaints to the same authority carry significantly more weight than individual reports. Contact the investigation team through the channels on this website.
