firsthand Get quality reporting directly into your inbox Two months after Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 Andre Mankowski's name disappeared from the website of AMT Group the technology company where he was formerly listed as president who is the descendant of a Polish aristocrat founded the Moscow-based firm in the mid-1990s It has since become one of Russia’s largest IT systems integration companies scoring a host of government contracts – including with units of the Ministry of Defense and the security services – and winning the trust of the administration of Russian President Vladimir Putin As Russia became mired in its war in Ukraine the change on AMT Group’s website suggested Mankowski AMT Group was free to do business with sanctioned clients – but Mankowski a joint investigation by OCCRP partners iStories and FRONTSTORY.PL found that Mankowski has continued to earn money from the firm as it serviced big-hitting clients linked to Putin and the Russian state even after many of them were subject to U.S Reporters from iStories discovered that recent clients of AMT Group include sanctioned banks an electronics manufacturer for the Russian defense industry and financial institutions run by Putin's closest friends According to financial data obtained by iStories between 2022 and 2024 Mankowski himself received at least 250 million rubles ($2.8 million at the current exchange rate) from AMT Group He also received 27 million rubles ($300,000) from an affiliated company called AMT Group Telecom The data doesn’t detail the purpose of the payments including whether they consisted of dividends or some other arrangement While Mankowski was listed as the owner of AMT Group in Russian and UK commercial registries in 2019 the firm does not disclose its shareholders to the public and reporters could not confirm its current ownership status If Mankowski were to be the beneficial owner of a company that supports Russia’s war machine an expert on illicit finance with the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) think tank The EU can also impose sanctions on “an individual who supports the Russian regime directly or through business entities that it controls or of which it is the beneficial owner,” she said Poland could include such a company on its sanctions list.” How or where Mankowski has invested money earned through the profitable AMT Group is unclear But he and his family are best known in Poland for pouring funds into a passion project in the country’s south: the historic spa town of Szczawnica a management company now chaired by Mankowski took charge of the town’s resort which once belonged to his grandfather but had been nationalized after World War II has sunk millions into property development in the mountain town Thermaleo denied that any investment in the resort town came from AMT Group saying that it has been financed by Mankowski’s “assets,” without specifying further “No funds for investment in Szczawnica came from AMT Group or its companies The funds came directly from the assets of Andrzej Mankowski Whether they were his savings or came from current income was of little importance,” the company told FRONTSTORY.PL through a lawyer Mankowski and AMT Group did not respond to detailed questions sent by reporters Born Andrzej, Mankowski now uses the name Andre on company documents outside Poland despite his aristocratic background he once scraped a living as a young man on the streets of Paris “When Jędrek [diminutive for Andrzej] left he was earning money in Paris making crepes in a street stall,” one of his relatives told FRONTSTORY.PL After finishing his business and technical studies in France Mankowski landed a job in 1974 in the fledgling computer industry with the French company Bull according to his archived biography on AMT Group’s website He later rose up the ranks of the leading U.S whose computers were famously smuggled into the Soviet Union and copied to create the first Soviet computers Mankowski became DEC's commercial director in Russia which was registered in France in 1994 and in Russia in 1995 By the time Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 the company had a long track record of winning lucrative government contracts including for entities under Russia’s Defense Ministry the military unit of the Federal Security Service (FSB) and the Russian Intelligence Service (SVR) AMT Group earned at least 17.5 billion rubles ($473 million) through contracts with state-owned entities and state-controlled organizations in Russia AMT Group’s Journey to the Heart of the Russian State AMT Group’s first major government contract listed in available public procurement data dates back to 2004 when the Russian Federal Treasury employed the firm to create a communications network in a deal worth more than seven billion rubles (over $269 million) The company has been contracted to work in some of the most sensitive areas of the Russian state ever since and security elements of vote-counting systems to entities under the Federal Informatization Center of Russia’s Central Election Commission It also supplied mobile phone-blocking equipment to the military unit of the FSB and equipment for the Federal Guard Service which provides protection for the political elite The company supplied software for the Interior Ministry’s main internal army control center and implemented a radio network control system for branches of the state broadcaster Mankowski appears to have had personal connections with senior Russian officials at some of the state organizations where AMT Group won business contracts Documents leaked to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists show Mankowski co-owned the British Virgin Islands-registered Stenson Corporation in 2006 with Sergey Yurchuk the then 22-year-old son of a major general with the Russian Customs Service who held a senior role in a unit responsible for IT security Mankowski's AMT Group earned more than half a billion rubles (around $5.5 million at the current exchange rate) from contracts with the Customs Service and its structures AMT Group also signed contracts worth around two billion rubles (approximately $21 million at the current exchange rate) with the Moscow City Government’s IT department between 2011 and 2022 who had previously worked for Mankowski at AMT Group headed the department's procurement section Yurchuk and Gusarov did not respond to requests to comment Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine Mankowski has received 50 payments amounting to the equivalent of $3 million from AMT Group and a related Russia-based company called AMT Group Telecom according to financial data seen by iStories more than 90 percent of which came from AMT Group ranged from 400,000 to 26 million rubles (approximately $4,000 to $290,000 at the current exchange rate) The data also shows that in the five years prior to the invasion Mankowski had been paid a total of 814 million rubles (around $9 million at the current exchange rate) by both companies Russia’s registry of commerce lists Mankowski as owning 49 percent AMT Group Telecom via a Cyprus-based company called BE2C Services Ltd He is also listed as the firm’s general director What is clear is that AMT Group has prospered from contracts with sanctioned entities since the 2022 invasion, including a developer of nuclear warheads, a producer of technology for military aircrafts, and Russia’s largest insurer. AMT Group’s Deals with Russia’s Sanctioned Companies and Banks Reporters found that AMT Group has received millions of dollars from the following sanctioned entities since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Ryazan Instrument Enterprise, All-Russian Automation Research Institute, SOGAZ, Cisco, Otkritie Bank, and VTB did not respond to requests to comment. The Polish spa town of Szczawnica, nestled in the lush Pieniny mountains and famed for its curative mineral-rich waters, seems a world away from Moscow. But one of its biggest employers is Andre Mankowski’s family, which has poured millions of dollars into the town since 2005, when it became the majority shareholder of the town’s historic spa, a sweeping resort featuring hotels, cafes, and health facilities. Andre Mankowski’s grandfather Count Adam Stadnicki had acquired the resort in 1909, but it was nationalized after World War II. Over time, it began to deteriorate and in the late 1990s, Stadnicki's heirs began to demand its return. In 2005, the family reached a settlement with Poland’s government: the majority of the shares in the spa, and the extensive plots and properties that belonged to it, would be handed over to a management company called Thermaleo chaired by Andre Mankowski’s son at the time, on the condition that the company invest 10 million Polish złoty ($3 million) in the site. Since then the company has put much more into Szczawnica than originally promised, with Thermaleo and its subsidiaries now running a range of real estate properties in the town, including a string of high-end hotels, a sanatorium offering health treatments, a “water pump room” where the town’s mineral waters can be consumed, and a horse stud farm. Financial statements show the investments have not been particularly profitable, suggesting that outside funding would be necessary to keep the businesses afloat. Since Thermaleo acquired Szczawnica Spa in 2005, it has often ended the financial year in debt, as have its subsidiary companies. In its latest financial statements for 2022, Thermaleo showed a loss of more than PLN 7 million ($1.7 million). The company also notes in its financial statements that it “is not making a profit and is dependent on various forms of recapitalisation from the Shareholders' portfolio,” without going into further detail. Polish local newspaper Tygodnik Podhalański has previously quizzed the Mankowski family over the source of the money flowing into the spa town. A 2007 article describes how, when asked by phone about the origin of the funds for Szczawnica, Andre Mankowski answered “laconically, talking about investment funds. When we ask for specifics, he refuses to answer." After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the paper again asked Thermaleo if Andre Mankowski’s AMT Group had invested in Poland. The company’s board of directors assured the paper that it was not. When reached for comment by FRONTSTORY.PL, Thermaleo again rejected any financial links with AMT Group in a statement the company’s lawyer provided on behalf of the board. “Andrzej Mankowski makes no secret of his views on the war in Ukraine, describing it as a catastrophe for both the Ukrainian people and all of Europe,” the company said, adding that he has funded reconstruction efforts in Ukraine and supported Ukrainian refugees in France. The family also reportedly offered free accommodation and food to some Ukrainian families seeking refuge in Szczawnica in the early days of the war. When reporters tried to dig deeper into the source of Thermaleo’s investments, they discovered the spa is owned by a chain of companies structured like a matryoshka doll, making it difficult to trace where the funding truly comes from. Based on the latest publicly available documents, reporters established that 95 percent of Szczawnica Spa’s shares belong to Thermaleo. The company’s 2023 list of shareholders show that Andre Mankowski and his son Christophe hold 55 percent of the shares (Christophe owns less than one percent), while the rest are held by a company called Polenac, registered in Luxembourg in 2020. According to Polenac’s latest company report from 2022, it has no employees. But Polenac is in turn owned by a London-registered firm called SPA Management Limited, who lists Andre Mankowski as director – and its sole employee. The last link in the chain is the most opaque: SPA Management Ltd’s sole shareholder is a company called AMF Limited, registered in the Channel Islands tax haven of Guernsey. AMF does not disclose information about its finances and owners. However, when asked by reporters about the beneficial owner of SPA Management and AMF Limited, Thermaleo said: “The beneficial owner of all entities involving Andrzej Mańkowski is Andrzej Mańkowski alone." The companies closer to the top of the chain have also reported heavy debt. By 2022, SPA Management’s debt to parent company AMF amounted to more than £92 million ($111 million). When queried by reporters, Thermaleo said this was the amount that had been invested across Szczawnica. "This value is consistent with the value of capital (shared and supplementary) in Thermaleo, therefore, with a small margin of error, it can be confirmed that this value is the value of broadly understood investments in Szczawnica," it said in a statement.

Get quality reporting directly into your inbox, every week In between the public and private sectors lies a third sector: the so-called social economy. This is where the public and private sectors are supposed to meet to collaborate for social good, often via cooperatives, non-profit organisations, social enterprises and charities. But if the right systems are not in place, the social economy can fall far short of its potential. Having combined strategic support for a social economy sector on the regional level with the support for individuals not only allowed ASEDP to successfully increase the number of social economy entities in the Malopolska Region, it also helped improve the knowledge of residents about what the social economy is and how it benefits them. To fill this gap and to enhance the impact that non-profits, charities and other social enterprises had on the Malopolska Region in Poland, the European Social Fund-supported Academy of Social Economy Development Project (ASEDP) helped centralise the cooperation between these private entities and the public sector.   As the Malopolska Region generally lacked a true social economy, ASEDP’s primary goal was to create one. Specifically, it focused its attention on building a social economy capable of supporting at risk individuals such as the unemployed, the disabled, homeless people, substance abusers and the mentally ill. Building from the recently enacted Malopolska Pact for Social Economy, the project provided the tools needed to implement the legislation. The result was the establishment of an Information & Consultation Point, a hub where social economy actors could meet for knowledge sharing, training, consultations and promotional activities. The hub served as the go-to-place for both existing and potentially new social economy entities, where they could learn about the most relevant statutes, share best practices and get help on such start-up steps as developing a business plan. In total, 1711 individuals benefited from the programme, along with 245 social economy entities and 126 local partners. Altogether, 208 financial subsidies were transferred to newly-established social cooperatives – thanks to the project’s success in creating the support structure that was needed to help the region’s social economy reach its full potential. Total investment for the project “Academy of Social Economy Development Project (ASEDP)” is    EUR 3 421 060, with the EU’s European Social Fund contributing EUR 2 907 901 through the “Human Capital” Operational Programme for the 2007-2013 programming period. Regional Centre for Social Policy in Krakow GettyMatt TaylorBBC WeatherPublished5 April 2024It might sound odd but in certain weather situations clouds can disappear from the skies during a solar eclipse The disappearance of clouds is just one of the several eerie impacts such as darkening skies and absence of bird song that are likely to be observed during this year's total solar eclipse with several minutes of totality experienced in a narrow corridor across Mexico casting a shadow on Earth and turning day to dusk the most noticeable meteorological affect to many will be the drop in temperature In blocking out our main source of energy we may notice the drop in warmth on our skins immediately but it can take up to 20 minutes for the air temperature to reach its lowest point This is because of the way our air is actually warmed but instead by the Sun’s warmth radiating back out of the ground The amount the air temperature drops will vary depending on the overriding weather conditions but most places under the line of totality can expect a drop of at least a couple of degrees During the eclipse across Europe in August 1999 Szczawnica in southern Poland observed a temperature fall of as much as 11 Celsius (20F) It is that change in temperature that also drives other weather changes The US saw an annular eclipse in October 2023 as viewed here from Arizona's Monument Valley The wind can fall lighter and change in direction slightly As the air cools it becomes slightly denser (heavier) and so has greater friction with the ground This causes it to slow slightly and take an anti-clockwise shift so a south-westerly wind would become slightly more southerly These changes were highlighted in a 1901 study by American meteorologist Henry Helm Clayton Drops in wind strength and temperature can also have an impact on energy demand and renewable energy generation but the effects of an eclipse are now factored into modern weather computer models to help energy companies in managing these This solar eclipse on 9 March 2016 cast a shadow across the west Pacific Perhaps the most magical weather change during an eclipse is the sight of clouds evaporating and not necessarily with every cloud in the sky The type of cloud present ahead of the eclipse is crucial.
