Charity Commission inquiry
Havenpoint Worldwide (charity 1122120; company 06261707) was one of the seven charities linked with Chabad UK in the Charity Commission's class statutory inquiry. The inquiry opened on 13 June 2014 and its report was published on 16 March 2020.[8] According to the report, the charity was first registered on 28 December 2007. It was removed from the register on 9 June 2011 "for failing to submit its annual accounts and appearing not to operate", and "at the request of a trustee" was reinstated on 1 May 2012. On 9 September 2014 Companies House warned it, and Pikuach Nefesh Limited, that it would be dissolved for late filing.[8]
The Commission concluded that the charities "were used for a non-charitable purpose and as a conduit to launder the proceeds of crime". It found that over £9 million passed through their bank accounts between January 2012 and May 2014.[8] It said that Chabad UK was a separate charity from Chabad Lubavitch UK.[9] Edward Cohen, whom the Commission described as the charities' manager, was convicted of money laundering, theft, fraud and providing false or misleading information to the Commission.[8] The charity's company was dissolved on 14 October 2025.[10]
In 2010 a JustGiving page in Chaim Yitzchok Cohen's name raising money for "Havenpoint - Chabad UK" included text written in the name of "Havenpoint Worldwide".[11]
