Hundreds of firms set up by two companies linked to the world’s most notorious organised crime gangs shared an address just yards from the government agency responsible for the UK’s company register.
Companies House oversees the information held on all UK firms on the register of companies. It says one of its priorities is to make the register as complete and accurate as possible. But it seems the agency failed to notice, or do anything to stop, hundreds of suspicious firms at one address that Google Maps suggests is just a four-minute walk from the front door of its own headquarters in Cardiff.
Research by Transparency International UK uncovered 948 suspect Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) registered at the small property, Enterprise House, at Whitchurch Road in Cardiff.
