TGI AG, Vaduz, already attracted media attention in the past and has been the subject of warnings issued by the FMA. Customers of TGI AG now have the opportunity to successfully reclaim payments made, subject to certain conditions.
By order of 26 May 2026, published on 28 May 2026, the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority (FMA) prohibited TGI AG from distributing and publicly offering the products “Customer Basic 2%”, “Sales Premium” and “Sofortrabatt” with immediate effect. The FMA classifies these products as deposit-taking business requiring authorisation, which TGI AG operated without the necessary authorisation.
At the same time, the FMA requires TGI AG to reverse all outstanding gold purchases within four months and to refund the customers’ payments. The order is immediately enforceable and the FMA has deprived any potential appeal of suspensive effect.
It is advisable for all affected customers to secure and assert their claims against TGI AG without delay. In addition to the recovery of the purchase price, claims for damages may also be considered. This applies in particular to all executive bodies of TGI AG responsible for the unauthorised deposit business.
TGI AG disputes the allegations, whilst at the same time a ‘TGI International’ with a registered address in Dubai has emerged. This suggests that TGI may intend to relocate its business and possibly the funds to Dubai.
Furthermore, it is unclear whether TGI AG would at all be in a position to satisfy the clients’ claims in full, or whether there is even a risk of insolvency.
In such a situation, every day counts. Affected clients can use interim injunctions not only to prevent a potential outflow of funds and secure the satisfaction of their claims. Injunctions issued by Liechtenstein courts also grant customers a priority lien, which, under certain conditions, may even allow for priority satisfaction in insolvency proceedings.
