Another Russian oligarch cash handler Bruno Koschorek
Bruno Koschorek, president of a dubious venture named ‘Green Zero Foundation’ has succeeded in luring a section of Polish politicians in signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with him and his partner Dan Settgast for establishing a ‘Eco Park’ in Lublin in Poland by investing over one billion euro. While signing the MoU, Lublin authorities did not ask Bruno Koschorek or Daniel Settgast aka Dan Settgast to show prove of fund as they were told that Russian oligarch would place cash for this project.
Another reason for Jarosław Stawiarski, the Marshal of the Lublin Province from PiS (Law and Justice is a right-wing populist and national-conservative political party) introducing these scammers was, because he was offered “secret kickback” by Bruno Koschorek and Dan Settgast, once the project was implemented.
According to a source, before signing of the MoU, Bruno Koschorek arranged a telephonic conversation between Marshal Jarosław Stawiarski and a Russian businessman. Following this call, Jarosław Stawiarski knew Bruno Koschorek was a genuine representative of the Russian oligarch. It was also agreed that Bruno Koschorek and Dan Settgast would meet Jarosław Stawiarski and few more PiS leaders during mid-October when a “token amount” would be handed-over to Stawiarski as “gesture of friendship” from the Russian oligarch.
Jarosław Stawiarski and few other PiS leaders reportedly had told Bruno Koschorek that Poland was the “safest place to mobile cash” from “any Russian investor”.
According to LinkedIn profile of Bruno Koschorek, he hails from Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
He has been associated with a company named Vorstand WBM/BUEVorstand, WBM/BUE, Unternehmensberatung since 2009. According to company profile on LinkedIn, this company has been running a project named Next Millionaer, although the website of such suspicious venture is already shut-down. Most of the information of the so-called employees of Unternehmensberatung are hidden on LinkedIn, except for the profiles of Çağla M.
Bruno Koschorek is also associated with an entity named ‘BUE Energieingennieure’ or Association of Independent Energy Engineers (BUE) which has office at Kiel, Marthastr. 6, 24114 Kiel, Germany, Telephone: 0431 – 26 093 880, Fax: 0431 – 26 093 881.
Attempts of injecting Russian oligarch cash into Poland?
Polish journalist and political commentator Anna Dryjańska wrote in a report titled ‘”’The Lord is crazy!” A PiS marshal caught cooperating with a mysterious foundation’:
“The style of Goebbels and Urban” – with these words Jarosław Stawiarski, the Marshal of the Lublin Province from PiS attacks the media. The politician reacts in this way to questions about connections with the GreenZero Foundation, and through it – with organizations promoting the controversial YEM cryptocurrency. Stawiarski signed the GreenZero Foundation’s letter of intent, which wants to build a zero-emission industrial park in Kraśnik. The project is to cost PLN 5 billion.
The conversation between the Marshal of Lublin, Jarosław Stawiarski, and the media, who asked why he signed the letter of intent establishing GreenZero zone in Kraśnik, was nervous. When a journalist asked a PiS politician if he was not afraid of being notified by Senator Jacek Bury about the Internal Security Agency, Stawiarski exploded.
“You must be crazy now. The Lord is just … The Lord is crazy right now asking about such things. I am not afraid of a notification to the Internal Security Agency. The Lord did not understand my conference. I explained that there was nothing in this letter of intent”, said Marshal Jarosław Stawiarski.
Well, Marshal Jarosław Stawiarski has reasons to feel nervous as he knew, Green Zero Foundation would bring tons of cash from Russian oligarch into this venture as Bruno Koschoreck, a former German military who works with the Russian oligarchy had clearly told several Lublin politicians that Greenzero Foundation would mobilize Russian cash into the project.
According to Polish news portal ‘MediaNarodowe’:
The media reports about the controversy surrounding the signing by the Marshal of the Lublin Province, Jarosław Stawiarski, a PiS politician, of a letter of intent from the GreenZero Foundation.
This foundation is suspicious. It was officially established a month before the letter was signed.
A zero-emission industrial park for PLN 5 billion is to be built in Kraśnik, consisting of a huge photovoltaic farm and a nanocoating factory. A letter of intent was signed on this matter. The partner who is to undertake this investment is the GreenZero Foundation.
The president of the Lublin National Movement, Piotr Zduńczyk, wrote on Twitter that the president of this foundation is:
Bruno Koschoreck, a former German military who works with the Russian oligarchy. The past of the foundation itself is very unclear, it even seems that the foundation was ‘established on its knees’. It was formally established on July 22, 2022.
It is one month before signing the said letter of intent.
Among the 30 entities with which the foundation was supposed to work, we deal with entities that do not even have contact or identification details. Most of them don’t even have a website and some are linked via source code to a YEM cryptocurrency wallet, which is just a SCRAP.
Financial scams?
Onet portal reported that the foundation is being accused in Asia of financial frauds. Senator Jacek Bury on behalf of Poland 2050 announced that he would submit a notification to the Internal Security Agency regarding this cooperation. Marshal Stawiarski commented on this, saying:
I had no idea who was behind it. I did not know Mr. Bruno Koschorek. I saw him for the first time at this meeting. Making an enunciation saying that Mr. Koschoreck is connected with Russian capital, some services and that he wants to extort something, is a story of fairy tales. Mr. Bury rumbles that some idiots sign this, or people aiming for extra zeros in their wallets. They make huge accusations against the head of the commune, the mayor and my humble person. Not a word of truth was said, which is in this letter of intent.
Earlier, courageous investigative journalist Agnieszka Mazuś of the Dziennik Wschodni, Lublin’s largest Polish-language newspaper has published several investigative reports about the suspicious venture of Green Zero Foundation in Lublin Province.
High-ranking Russians connected to Green Zero Foundation project
In the report, which has been handed-over to Polish Internal Security Agency, names of high-ranking Russians have been mentioned. Those names include Igor Lebedev, a former Duma deputy and alleged son of Vladimir Zhirinovsky.
A source said, individuals such as Jeorge Sebastiao, Daniel Settgast aka Dan Settgast, Kamil Grund, Zuzana Uchnárová aka Zuzana Uchnarova etcetera have found a number of Middle Eastern countries, such as Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates for running illegal activities and channeling cash of Russians and Russians oligarch into various ventures, including investment in cryptocurrency.
The source said, Dubai in particular has already become a hub of scammers, frauds, criminals and handlers of Russian oligarch’s cash.
Fraudulent and scamming activities of Daniel Settgast aka Dan Settgast, Jorge Sebastiao and few more individuals involved in numerous forms of crimes including fake cryptocurrency, MLM, Ponzi scheme etcetera came under the radar of international media and law enforcement agencies when Indian news portal The Eastern Herald published a report, which was followed by series of investigative reports published in BLiTZ.
Team of investigative reporters of BLiTZ are looking for further details on the dubious activities of Jorge Sebastiao, Dan Settgast, Kamil Grund, Vit Jedlička, Zuzana Uchnárová aka Zuzana Uchnarova and few more individuals who are connected to Russian oligarch.
