Gero-Video was a video distribution company based in Dusseldorf, Germany, identified as one of the largest distributors of homosexual pornography in Europe. The company was linked to [TAG Films](/organizations/tag-films/), the Amsterdam-based video production company operated by Welsh pedophiles [Alan Williams](/people/alan-williams/), [John Gay](/people/john-gay/), and [Lee Tucker](/people/lee-tucker/). A raid by German authorities on Gero-Video's premises followed the [Operation Framework](/programs/operation-framework/) investigation into suspected snuff films produced by British nationals in Amsterdam. The raid was triggered by the discovery that TAG Films' productions were being distributed through Gero-Video to customers across Europe.[^1]

[Robbie Van Der Plancken](/people/robbie-van-der-plancken/), who was imprisoned in Italy for the murder of [Gerrit-Jan Ulrich](/people/gerrit-jan-ulrich/), appeared in at least five Gero-Video films. A video distributed by Gero-Video called "The Poison Dwarf" was identified during the investigation. Gero-Video changed ownership in 1994 when a man named Uwe Tomek took over the company. The company was also identified as a child porn distributor in a dossier provided by [Karel Maasdam](/people/karel-maasdam/)'s accountant to Dutch intelligence services as part of the [Rolodex Investigation](/events/rolodex-investigation/).[^1]
