National Security : The UK HM Inland Revenue and Customs is completing an exhaustive investigation into the rapid break-up and liquidation of a multi-national industrial and philanthropic conglomerate which once boasted assets totalling over one billion dollars under the umbrella of the Carroll Foundation and the Carroll Global Corporation being one of the main world wide operating structures of the Carroll Foundation Charitable Trust which controlled over 85 corporations. The report will be passed to the HM Attorney Generals Office and Britain's Metropolitan Police Scotland Yard Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA).

At the centre of the inquiry is the Carroll Global Group of Companies, a family-owned commercial dynasty stretching back three generations in the United Kingdom with very close links with the Carroll families in Ireland and on the eastern seaboard of America in the State of Maryland. 

The business spanned Europe, Australia, United States of America and the Russian Federation.It embraced vast land areas involving agri-industrial enterprises, sheep stud farms and meat processing operations in Australia within an area of land half the size of Wales. Trans-continental commercial real estate holdings with a value of over $1,000,000,000 banking financial concerns in Gibraltar the Caribbean and the United Kingdom. Civilian and military industrial global share holdings in publicly quoted and privately held corporations.The Gerald Carroll Trust carried interests in the late billionaire Howard Hughes Estate.

Parts of the underlying group were declared insolvent but it is thought that the Inland Revenue is not satisfied this was merely a series of routine business failures over such a lengthy period of time.

Carroll Foundation Trust assets that have been sold off or have been the subject of criminal liquidation include the HM Ministry of Defence civilian and military operational establishment at Farnborough Hampshire UK under the umbrella of Farnborough Aerospace Development Corporation (FADC) Carroll Aircraft Corporation (CAC), which held the long lease to operate this military airfield.

Carroll Australasia Corporation industrial holdings including the Burenda sheep stud farm in Queensland Australia.Carroll Trust global commercial real estate holdings and financial banking interests and a very substantial share holding portfolios of military industrial enterprises controlled through Carroll Aircraft Corporation world wide and Carroll Marine Global which controlled the maritime interests of the Carroll Foundation.

Carroll Foundation assets in the UK which also have been the subject possible criminal liquidation include the Carroll family horse racing activities including the world renowned racing and breeding centre at Warren Park Stud Warren Hill Newmarket Suffolk UK. The London & Central Properties Plc Carroll Industries Corporation Plc group which rumours abound that it was used within a fraudulent "name switch operation" to liquidate assets in excess of $1,000,000,000. The Carroll Global Corporation banking and financial interests based in Gibraltar Nassau Bahamas and other offshore caribbean centres are also "targeted" in Britain's biggest offshore tax evasion money laundering and organised crime case.

The Carroll Art Collection with a Sothebys valuation of over $15m have been the target of criminal seizure and liquidation together with the Oxford University Carroll Institute a world renowned centre of Celtic Studies. Carroll Trust Irish National Treasures together with the world's finest library of Irish books and manuscripts owned by the Carroll Institute have also been the victim of criminal seizure break ins and theft along with a fine wines vault, the Carroll Philatelic Collection and the Carroll Automobile Collections which included ten Ferraris seven Lamborghinis together with vintage cars and rare automobilia collections.

Recently In Westminster London within the heart of the British Governmental apparatus the Carroll Family Trust's Eaton Square Belgravia and Westminster residences with a value of over $10m have been the subject of break-ins burgularies and ongoing criminal seizure operations by the "named" international crime syndicate now tageted by the cross-border law enforcement agencies charged with this massive global organised crime case.

The Carroll Foundation Charitable Trust has over forty charities which are also major victims, including HRH Prince of Wales Gerald Carroll Trust Interests, Oxford University the seat of the Carroll Chair of Irish History, Maryland State Carroll Archival Library Carroll Institute US Capitol Hill Historical Society, the HM Queen Elizabeth's patronage of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, General Patrick Gordon Carroll Jacobite Library Kremlin Russia, together with charitable organisations throughout the United States, Australia and the Russian Federation.
 
The Inland Revenue is believed to have continued to take a keen interest in the Carroll Foundation since the time that they finalised their interviews with Gerald Carroll as to the fate of the Carroll Foundation Trust and Carroll Global Corporation empire. Since then work has been continued on a detailed report into the Carroll Trust, and it is understood that this final report delayed for a lenthy time is soon to be passed to the UK Attorney Generals Office under the supervision of Baroness Scotland QC and the Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson QPM at Scotland Yard.

Carroll Foundation Trust criminal case Britain's longest running largest organised criminal conspiracy and corruption case. One billion dollars ($1.000.000.000) embezzlement of funds liquidation of assets on a world wide basis is held within a - LOCKDOWN - at the FBI Washington DC field office and the Metropolitan Police Scotland Yard Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) within a cross-border US HM Crown National Security and Public Interests Case.

Gerald Carroll, the most recent family member to chair the board of trustees of the Carroll Foundation, is not prepared to comment. He lives in Westminster London, and is on the board of benefactors of Oxford University, having endowed for $2.5m a Chair of Irish History which is now attached to Hertford College. Gerald Carroll is believed to continue to retain high level appointments and links with world wide governmental and institutional organisations whilst continuing to co-ordinate with the high level law enforcement officers charged with this major public interests case.
