Maciej Lisowski 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. The reporting and records presented here draw on official case files, court proceedings, border‑crossing data, corporate and land registries, and prior investigations by Belarusian and international media.
