Timeshare Legals Ltd. and others
The SFO is investigating a suspected fraudulent timeshare services scheme operating from at least 2018, involving 26 UK-based companies including Timeshare Legals Ltd, TSL Europe Ltd, and The Nobel Group of Companies.
The investigation was publicly announced in December 2024 following five arrests between August 2024 and July 2025. The investigation expanded in October 2025 to include five additional companies. Financial losses and victim numbers remain undisclosed. The case remains in pre-charge investigation phase. To date, none of the arrested individuals or companies have been charged.
AOG Technics
The SFO began investigating AOG Technics in December 2023 after global aviation authorities grounded planes over concerns about its aircraft parts. On 28 May 2025, director Jose Alejandro Zamora Yrala was charged with fraudulent trading based on allegations that from 2019 to 2023 the company falsified documents relating to aircraft parts. The SFO also joined forces with the Portuguese authorities, who have made three arrests and searched 10 sites in connection with this investigation. In December Mr Yrala pleaded guilty to fraudulent trading at Southwark Crown Court. He will be sentenced in February 2026. The Portuguese investigation remains ongoing.
Operation Hazel
The SFO is prosecuting six individuals following an investigation into the transfer of £75 million in pension funds across multiple schemes including Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs), Capita Oak Pension Scheme, Henley Retirement Benefit Scheme, and Trafalgar Multi Asset Fund.
The investigation was announced in May 2017 targeting investments made between 2011 and 2017. Individuals were charged with fraud and other offences in July 2025, with defendants appearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court in August 2025. A provisional trial date of 5 June 2028 was set at Southwark Crown Court in September 2025. The SFO closed parts of the investigation concerning Capita Oak, Henley and Trafalgar schemes in July 2025. Independent trustees and liquidators are pursuing separate civil compensation for affected investors.
