The association came under scrutiny during Scotland Yard's investigation into snuff films. [[Karl Hobi]], a founding member, was identified by a convicted pedophile named Jean Michel Klopp as having shown him a snuff film featuring a British boy in 1989. Klopp told investigators that Hobi had described the film as a new kind of product for a new clientele that could make significantly more money because of its extreme content. Hobi attributed the organization of the film's production to [[Beat Meier]]. Both Hobi and [[Beat Meier|Meier]], imprisoned at the time, refused to be interviewed regarding the allegations. The Swiss Paedophile Association's connections to [[Beat Meier|Meier]]'s LIBIDO magazine and to the broader Spartacus infrastructure linked it to the international distribution networks for both child pornography and, according to witness testimony, snuff films.[^1]

The Enterprise was the informal name given by [[Oliver North]] and other participants to the private covert operations network that conducted the two interlocking elements of the [[Iran-Contra Affair]]: the sale of American weapons to [[Iran]] and the resupply of the Nicaraguan [[Contras]] during the period when Congressional [[Boland Amendment]] prohibitions barred U.S. government agencies from providing the Contras with military assistance. The Enterprise was organized by [[Richard Secord]], a retired Air Force major general, and [[Albert Hakim]], an Iranian-born American arms dealer, through a network of corporate entities that held accounts, purchased weapons, and managed logistics outside official U.S. government channels. [[Oliver North]], serving on the [[National Security Council]] staff, provided the White House political authorization and operational direction.[^1]
