SEPT 2002: NEW BOOK REVEALS 18 YEARS AT THE HEART OF TVIND

Denmark, Friday Aug 30^th: An idealistic young man who joined Tvind, became a close confidant of Amdi Petersen and helped launder money through the Humanitarian Fund has now written a book revealing the truth of 18 years in the Teachers Group. Hans la Cour, now a TV producer in New Zealand, has written a 365-page account of his time with the organisation. He is a leading witness against Amdi and the other TG-members in the upcoming Danish fraud case.

La Cour was in a central position in the Fund, a project-leader in some of the most important, extravagant projects, amongst them Global Research (2.4 million Danish kroner) and The Voice of The Third World (14 million Danish kroner). He left the TG 12 years ago because, he says, he found out that the whole idea not was to help the suppressed masses of the world - but to help Amdi and the TG. He stayed silent for 10 years but 2 years ago he told Danish TV2 what he knew. In the book he - for the first time - tells the whole story about his life in the TG and his many meetings with Amdi.
