On 17 July 2016, I published on the website of the LEX NOSTRA Foundation an article entitled "The African Sorcerer", in which I described the operational scheme employed on African markets by Witold Karczewski, then (and still) Vice-President of the private trading company Contractus, as well as Vice-President of the National Chamber of Commerce.
The case, still the subject of prosecutorial scrutiny, opened a window onto a broader and more sensitive issue: how a Polish corporate figure with public positions came to move in the same circles as senior Belarusian officials and businessmen active in Africa.
