TAG Films was a video production company established in Amsterdam by three Welsh pedophiles: [Alan Williams](/people/alan-williams/), [John Gay](/people/john-gay/), and [Lee Tucker](/people/lee-tucker/). Williams managed [Boys Club 21](/organizations/boys-club-21/) in Amsterdam's Spuistraat district and worked closely with [Warwick Spinks](/people/warwick-spinks/), who managed the [Gay Palace](/organizations/gay-palace/) nightclub across the street. A Scotland Yard informant named "Frank" described how the group produced a snuff film inside a barn belonging to a German man who frequented the boy brothels managed by Williams and Spinks. The investigation into TAG Films was part of [Operation Framework](/programs/operation-framework/), the joint Scotland Yard and Dutch authorities inquiry conducted between 1992 and 1993 targeting suspected snuff pornography produced by British nationals in Amsterdam.[^1]

TAG Films was linked to a German distribution company in Dusseldorf called [Gero-Video](/organizations/gero-video/). A raid by German authorities on Gero-Video's premises followed the Dutch investigation. Gero-Video was identified as one of the largest distributors of homosexual pornography in Europe. [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. Gero-Video changed ownership in 1994 and was also identified as a child porn distributor in a dossier provided by [Karel Maasdam](/people/karel-maasdam/)'s accountant to Dutch intelligence services.[^1]
