If you bought teak plots or a guarantee plan through Goodwood Investments, you already know the story. The beautiful promises from the brochure were not fulfilled. The astronomical returns you were promised when you were called never materialized. The company is bankrupt. Your money seems to have disappeared. But appearances can be deceiving — there are indeed possibilities to recover your investment loss.
What happened to Goodwood?
Since the 1990s, Goodwood Investments B.V. sold teak plots and guarantee plans to approximately 14,000 Dutch investors. The total amount invested is over €225 million. The company did not have a license from the AFM, flouted regulations, and was ultimately forced to stop selling. After the bankruptcy, an empty estate remained — the receiver had nothing to distribute.
But the money did not vanish into thin air. It was funneled to Brazil, to Floresteca S.A., to intermediaries, and to the directors pulling the strings. And a damage claim can be filed against those individuals — not against the empty company.
What does Foundation BFRG do for Goodwood victims?
Foundation BFRG has been conducting a mass claim on behalf of defrauded Goodwood investors for years. Bureau Fraude Recht & Geldzaken B.V. has spared no expense or effort to legally enable the recovery of your invested capital. Through years of thorough forensic investigation — tracing financial flows, dissecting corporate structures, proving unlawful acts — the claim against the responsible founders and directors has been legally substantiated.
Our lawyers believe this is a strong case with a good chance of success. With more than 1,700 files being processed, BFRG is one of the largest prosecuting parties in this case.
Why you should register now
The legal procedure for recovering damages is about to start. This is a crucial moment, because as soon as the claim is filed with the court, you can no longer join. You will then definitely miss the boat and will not be eligible for compensation via the mass claim.
This means that you can subsequently only litigate at your own expense and risk with your own lawyer — a route that is financially unfeasible for most individual investors. The costs for an individual procedure can easily run into tens of thousands of euros, while participating in the mass claim costs a fraction of that.
What can you expect as compensation?
In the event of a favorable ruling, you may be eligible for a refund of your initial investment (investment loss), statutory interest over the period you lost your money, and any additional compensations awarded by the judge. The exact amount depends on the ruling and your individually invested amount.
Registration is without obligation
After your registration, we will contact you by telephone. We will discuss your situation, explain all the ins and outs, and answer all your questions. You then decide for yourself whether you wish to participate. There is no obligation whatsoever up to that point.
