I am a student at the Kingsway Princeton College, studying Photo-
graphy.

One evening at the beginning of April 1987 I think a Tuesday
I had been to a night club called Stalions, Charing Cross Road,
with Barney KINDERSLEY, Charlotte KRIPS and Sophy THOMPSON.
On leaving the club in the early hours of the morning we were
walking along Charing Cross Road when we saw a man looking in
a Computer Shop window.  I would describe this man as aged about
35 years, 5'6" in height, dark hair balding, medium build, brown
eyes, clean shaven, wearing dark glasses and sporty leisure
wear.  For a joke I think I said "You will get radiation if
you keep looking at those computers".  He in turn spoke to us
and we started a conversation.  He introduced himself as Captain
Nemo and that he was staying in London at the White House Hotel.
He asked various questions regarding the night life in London.

During the course of conversation he invited us back to his hotel
for drinks.  We accepted his invitation and travelled to the
hotel by cab.  At the hotel we had drinks and sandwiches in the
coffee lounge.  We asked what his occupation was but he would
not give us a direct answer.  He also had a white box type machine
which made sounds of a dog barking and the sound of your own
voice.  The machine had a piece which fitted over the mouthpiece
of a telephone.  After having drinks at the hotel we all went
for a drive around South West London in his red Ford Sierra motor
vehicle which appeared to be a hired car.  During the course
of driving around I fell asleep in the back of the car only to
wake up back at the hotel.  I was told by Sophie that Barney
and Charlotte had been dropped off early at their home.  Sophie
and I had breakfast with this Mr Nemo then he drove us home.

[Undisclosed material]

Over the next two or three weeks we met this Mr Nemo on a number
of occasions.  We would meet him at either the White House Hotel
or the Intercontinental Hotel.  He would then take us to Restau-
rants for meals or Night Clubs.  He introduced us to a number
of people, at first they were introduced as friends but later
some of these people were introduced as relatives.  As we got
to know him he stated that he wanted to make us into a 'Pop Group'
and that we would be rich.  He also introduced us to a Greek
looking man whose name was James SPARKLE.  I would describe this
man as aged 25 years, 5'10" in height, long black curly hair,
often in a pony tail, clean shaven, medium build, wearing trendy
black clothes.  Nemo stated this man was his cousin. The name

SPARKLE was in the man's passport and SPARKLE was the English
translation of the Greek name.  One evening, I think out third
meeting, we arranged to meet him at the White House Hotel.  As
we waited in the lobby I noticed the Management arrive with a
trolley loaded with Burton's bags which appeared to contain clothes
and Mr NEMO was being asked to leave the hotel.  On another meeting
at the Inter-Continental Hotel I was introduced to a lady as his
wife and a young girl as his daughter.  I was also introduced to
another female who I was told was his mother.  On this occasion
he showed me various Credit Cards which had expired, a passport
which also had expired and a business card for Futher Investment
Ltd in the name of P KOUPPARIS.

[Undisclosed material]

As time went on I became worried because this man would not give
us direct answers to questions, until one evening when we were
all in his car I asked him his real name and he said Panos KOUPPARIS.

[Undisclosed material]

On occasions when we met him he would be wearing dark suits, dark
coloured trilby hat, sunglasses, black leather shoes and for some
reason a black leather glove on his left hand.

[Undisclosed material]

Apart from the red Sierra he also drove a black Granada and a 
chauffeur driven limosine.  These cars I believe were also hired.
Each time we went out with this man he would always pay for the
meals or drinks, always paid cash, normally with £50 notes.  The
venue we frequented most was Brown's Night Club/Restaurant just
off Long Acre.

[Undisclosed material]

I would like to add that the white box type machine which the

man had, which I believe is a frequency shifter could make your
voice sound higher or lower depending which way you turned the
dial.  Jake Clennell

Further to my statement dated 19th may 1987.  On the occasions
that I met KOUPPARIS with his wife, when speaking to him I would
use the name NEMO or on the odd occasion 'Pan'.  When I used
the name Nemo in front of his wife, he would say Jake, "Stop
using the name NEMO, call me Pan".  (He didn't seem aggressive
when saying this).  There was no reaction from his wife.

I was present throughout the above interview.
