The Corinth Group Shell Network
Alec Theunissen has held 35+ UK directorships across two Companies House records. Six renamed Swiss shells under one signatory. Zero accounts filed. Compulsory liquidation. Contested enforcement claims. All from public records.
Analysis: this is not how a legitimate investment firm is built. At the top sit six Swiss shells, every one a dormant company bought and renamed, all signed for by Martin Model's wife. In the middle, a UK holding company that filed “dormant” accounts while running a website and a Cyprus fund. At the bottom, SPVs fronted by her son. Not one entity has ever filed accounts showing an investment made.

Three tiers, one family. Swiss AGs signed by Jurate Kairiene → UK parent TTTIH (Theunissen, Padley) → five SPVs directed by her son Justinas Kairys. Centropa — Marco Model, 75%+ — sat above the UK tree and was dissolved one month after the CySEC revocation. The SPVs have no employees, no trading and no funding ever deployed. The SPVs appear to function as contractual counterparties without trading or funding activity.
Accounting failures and filing violations
- Corinth Management Services Ltd (12297863) — incorporated November 2019; never filed a single set of statutory accounts in 6+ years; HMRC winding-up petition 18 Nov 2025; wound up by court order January 2026 (compulsory liquidation). Sole director: Alec Theunissen.
- Three Tuns Investment Holdings Ltd (14242045) — filed dormant (unaudited) accounts for year ending July 2024. At the time it had two active directors, two PSC vehicles, a live website and a Cyprus RAIF subsidiary. Dormant status appears inconsistent with Companies Act 2006 s.1169.
- All surviving Three Tuns entities — accounts overdue.

Six years of trading fees and not one set of accounts — until HMRC's petition had the company wound up. A holding company declared “dormant” while it had directors, PSC vehicles, a live website and a Cyprus fund. Every surviving Three Tuns entity overdue. This is the filing record of the companies clients paid.

cgoch.com: 'Corinth Group of Switzerland is a Private Investment Group founded in 1977…' · 'With over 40 years experience…' · PitchBook repeats 'Founded in 1977'.
Corinth tells clients it was “founded in 1977” with “over 40 years experience”. 1977 is the year Photo Max Wagner AG, a photographic-equipment company, was registered. Corinth acquired the dormant company and renamed it in 2019 — and repeated the exercise with an architect's practice, a trading company and a consultancy. Acquiring dormant companies is lawful; presenting their age as an investment heritage is not a history Corinth earned. Corinth branding dates from October 2018. Jurate Kairiene holds individual signature authority across the six Corinth AGs; her C-Capital appointment was recorded in December 2025.

Context: follows CySEC AIFM revocation (Oct 2022), RAIF dissolution (Jan 2023) and Centropa dissolution (Nov 2022). The eight director departures at Three Tuns Investment Holdings span September 2022–December 2024 and involve seven people; they were not a simultaneous June 2023 event. 'Rhea' branding also used in Switzerland (Rhea Investments AG → Corinth Management Services AG), showing coordinated Swiss–UK naming.
Seven Corinth-branded UK entities renamed 'Three Tuns' on 15–16 June 2023 — eight months after the CySEC revocation and five months after the RAIF dissolution. Same people. New name.
Swiss debt-enforcement claims against Corinth AGs
Creditors have pursued the Corinth companies through the debt-enforcement office in their home town. In August 2022 a Swiss company lodged a CHF 1,697,500 claim against Corinth Investments AG; in January 2024 a Dubai company lodged CHF 85,334.65 against Corinth Investment Holdings AG. Corinth lodged objections (Rechtsvorschlag) to both claims. An objection is not a finding that the debt is or is not owed. The Canton of Graubünden needed enforcement proceedings to collect Corinth's taxes in 2023. None of this is disclosed by Corinth to prospective clients.

No unpaid loss certificates (Verlustscheine) registered for any of the three AGs in the preceding 20 years.
Cyprus — licence, funds and personnel
Cyprus is where Corinth obtained its only licence and where it lost it — in seven and a half months. Its fund carried a “Naturalization Estate Fund” built around the Cyprus citizenship-by-investment programme. After the revocation the fund was dissolved and a successor fund set up with new directors, which is now itself in winding-up. Jurate Kairiene holds individual signature authority across the six Corinth AGs. Her appointment at C-Capital Group AG was recorded in the Swiss notice published 1 December 2025, which also recorded Rita Mlodischewski’s departure; her role at C-Capital should not be projected back across the earlier period.
