CIR has identified strong evidence connecting an international money transfer service known as The OneGate to TGR, a transnational organisation which has been the subject of money laundering investigations, arrests and seizures by officials in the UK, the United States and other law enforcement partners.
The OneGate presents itself as “the control room behind a company’s money.” It offers a variety of financial services to transfer money internationally as both digital fiat and cryptocurrency. It does this via an integrated network of companies spread across at least seven jurisdictions. These companies include:
- The OneGate Ltd (UK)
- The OneGate Inc (US – Delaware with Florida branch, registered to the same Vancouver address as Maple Digital Financial Solutions)
- Maple Digital Financial Solutions Ltd (Canada)
- Canneret s.r.o. (Czech Republic)
- The OneGate Sp.z.o.o. (Poland)
- The OneGate Capital AG (Switzerland)
- Leadtone Asia Limited (Hong Kong)
The ability to move money easily across borders while obscuring its origins and limiting the oversight of traditional financial institutions, regulators or law enforcement is a key component of TGR’s service offering, according to U.K. and U.S. law enforcement officials.
Open source evidence identified by CIR suggests that The OneGate evolved from previous or perhaps replaced previous TGR projects, including the defunct Onecard and One Remit. CIR identified other strong connections between TGR and The OneGate including through archived websites; job advertisements from TGR for positions with The OneGate’s companies; digital forensic traces including metadata including PDF authorship; and multiple overlapping personnel between OneGate and TGR.
Jānis Zvīgulis is a Latvian financial professional who served from January 2015 to November 2017 as a director for one of TGR’s UK-registered companies, TGR Wealth Solutions Ltd (later renamed to TGR Corporate Concierge Ltd). Zvīgulis is listed on corporate records as shareholder and/or director for at least five of The OneGate’s companies. He identifies himself in his LinkedIn profile as one of the founders of The OneGate. It has not been possible to identify shareholders or directors for all companies due to limitations on public access to information in some jurisdictions.
The OneGate appears to be active as of August 2026 based on recently filed corporate documents for its UK company; recent bug fixes for its iPhone app; a re-design of The OneGate’s main website in July 2026 and recent activity on its Telegram support account.
It has not been possible based on open sources to establish how much or whose money may have moved through The OneGate’s platform in the five years it or its companies have been operating. Further investigation, including by law enforcement with access to financial records, could shed light on this.
Further investigation could also uncover precisely how The OneGate may fit into TGR’s broader operations, and identify its clients.
Late in the course of this investigation, CIR identified leads pointing towards a link between The OneGate and another multi-country payments network, Novatum. This evidence includes multiple instances of overlapping personnel between Novatum and The OneGate companies. Novatum’s Singaporean company, Novatum PTE, is part-owner of one of OneGate’s companies, Leadtone Asia Limited.
In addition, the Novatum network includes a UK-registered fintech company Novatum Tech and a Belarusian-registered company named Novatum Vit, which appears to be advertising capabilities to ship goods between Europe, Russia and Belarus in violation of international sanctions. It states on its website that it can deliver cargo that was previously “impossible to deliver into the country” by working in “a new way.” The site advertises a full suite of services to achieve that end, including supplying documentation and even falsely posing as the importer.
CIR has provided an assessment of the information uncovered thus far regarding Novatum in the report’s appendix.
CIR has not identified and does not impute any evidence of criminal wrongdoing by individuals, companies or entities identified in this report. This report simply documents open source evidence indicating connections between these entities and the TGR network. Further investigation, including of closed sources such as financial records, would be needed to uncover the nature of these connections.
