“Wprost” discovered the previously unknown assets of the foundation associated with Father Tadeusz Rydzyk and his co-workers. It turned out that people close to the Toruń redemptorist have large lands and luxury residences in Warsaw. According to the portal, Lidia Kochanowicz-Mańk, a associate of the Lux Veritatis Foundation's board of directors, is partially liable for the financial management of Rydzyk's father. It was she who built a tiny property of luxury flat buildings in Warsaw, which belong, among others, to politicians connected with Law and Justice.
Andrzej Kanthak, the father of Jan Kanthak, 1 of Zbigniew Ziobra's key collaborators and associate of the Sovereign Poland, purchased an flat from Lidia Kochanowicz-Mańk. The flat on the luxury property is besides owned by Andrzej Jaworski, a longtime MP of PiS from Pomerania. Both he and Andrzej Kanthak frequently appear in media related to Father Rydzyk.
Company bankruptcy
Lidia Kochanowicz-Mańk obtained approval to build a residence in 2006, erstwhile she began operating in foundations and companies related to Toruń redemptorists. Previously, in 2000, it was 1 of the shareholders of Espebepe (Szczeciński Przedsiębiorstwo Budownictwa Przemysłowe). In 2001, the company was acquired by the father of John King, a close associate of Tadeusz Rydzyk.
The investment failed and the share price fell 30 times. In 2002, the Szczecin territory Court declared bankruptcy. After the collapse of Espebepe investors, including Kochanowicz-Mank, remained with nothing.
Lands of the state, homes of seniors
The portal informs that the order and foundations associated with Rydzyk have many previously undescribed properties. The property includes land areas that were sometimes purchased from the state with large rebates and even as part of a donation. For example, in May 2017, redemptors received from the Kujawsko-Pomeranian voivode Nicholas Bogdanovich in the usage of perpetual land belonging to the Treasury in Toruń. Its area was over 1.3 hectares.
“Wprost” besides cites the stories of respective seniors who donated their own homes to foundations. In 2008, 84-year-old Irena donated to the Lux Veritatis Foundation an 84-metre flat on 1 of the settlements in Wrocław. Similarly, in 2016, 74-year-old Halina gave a 35-metre flat in Lublin.
