May 20th: (Jyllands-Posten) (Short summary) The police is investigating whether 'Tvind' has committed tax-fraud for up to 75 million DK kroner, which comes from their humanitarien foundation. 'Jyllands-Posten' has tried to follow some of the money, one million dollars, which Tvind wanted to give to a project in Belize in Middle-America. The authorities in Belize declined the offer as they suspected that Tvind was only giving the money to itself through Søren Sørensen, who is member of the teacher-group of 'Tvind'.

May 19th 2001: A short translated summary of a Danish article in Jyllands-Posten,
----------------- A Special Labour Union in Denmark accuses Tvind of misusing their workers in the poor third world country Belize and are about to boycot the bananas, because the importer trades with Tvind. At the same time Tvind has tried to transfer 1 million dollars from their humanitarian foundation to a Danish farmer in Belize, who is connected to Tvind. (The article further tells how a lot of plantations in Belize are owned by farmers, who are members of Tvind and how they don't pay the their workers their deserved salaries and also prevent them, with treats of being expelled, to organise themselves in any kind of union.) ----------------

May 19th 2001: Hello everybody, Jyllands posten writes today: -- Fagforening angriber Tvind -- Indland: Specialarbejderforbundet i Danmark anklager Tvind for at udbytte arbejdere i det fattige uland, Belize, og er tæt på at opfordre til boykot af bananer, fordi importøren handler med Tvind. http://www.jp.dk/dbp/internetavisen/indland/artikel&art_id=3346415
Wich means something like: Union in Dk accusing Tvind of exploiting workers in Belize in banana plantations - they are close to recommend boycott of bananas from certain importer (Irish firm). The article also links the police investigation against Tvind for tax fraud with the plantations and nature reservations in Belize, because Tvind had plans for "donatting 1 mill kr to a nature preservation project, which actually was refused by govt. in Belize.
