I'll put up some more on Cataldo and the Marr Group, but here is a useful link...

This is from another website...

In 1995 sponsored Kremlyovskaya director Fanchini the formula 1 team of Jordan Peugeot with the coureurs Damon Hill and Rubens Barrichello. In 1996 they found out about Fanchini's connections with the russian mobs and Eddy Jordan and the direction of Peugeot left him.

Antwerp, Belgium

the Russian mafia officially lost the liquor import/export company Kremlyovskaya Group in November 1996, which had been used as its main cover in the port area. The company's chairman, mafioso Riccardo Marian Fanchini, is under investigation for allegedly laundering Moscow mafia money through Geneva to Antwerp for investment in residential real estate.The fall of Fanchini, tagged by the FBI as probably one of the biggest mafia drug bosses active in Western Europe, until 1996, began with the repeal of Russian president Boris Yeltsin's decree allowing the import of liquor duty free, with the tax going to sports associations. It was repealed in December 1995 and the Belgian company's financial crash came in April 1996. Media reports about the Kremlyovskaya Group's mafia ownership soon had its legitimate partners running for cover from the company and its representatives. The 1996 Monaco grand prix was one of the last big sporting events with which the group was associated; after that, its formula one partners dissolved their partnership with the Antwerp company. Peugeot was the first to bale out, and Eddie Jordan, another partner in the same sponsorship project, followed somewhat later.

I'll find the UK Daily Express article and post the link ASAP.

Dubious technology claims here...where did they get SARS virus and anthrax samples and who did the tests? Considering the scientific community only identified the SARS virus inside the last 6 -9 months, I find that claim very suspicious.

US Global Aerospace Inc · 10KSB · For 3/31/3

We have tested this filter using both the SARS
virus and anthrax, and found that it effectively filtered both.


I have almost all of the NASA test details in conjunction with the Russian Mir space station and can't find any reference to this...

AIRBORNE PATHOGEN AIR FILTER/PURIFICATION SYSTEMS USING NANOFIBER FILTER MEDIUM FOR COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, AND AIRBORNE APPLICATIONS.

The core of this filter technology was initially developed for NASA for
use during crewed space flight applications that lasted for more than 120 days
to provide ultra-fine particulate matter air filtration and purification. The
performance has been enhanced further with the addition of nanofiber filter
element materials. The porous nanofilter media is enveloped with an electronic
field that causes the airborne particulate matter to move in a churning motion
perpendicular to the airflow direction without ionization, thus significantly
enhancing the London/Van der Waals force interaction (a method of intermolecular
attraction), and resulting in a super-efficient air filtration and purification
system. This system effectively captures bacteria, viruses, smoke, dust,
odorants, and other sub-micron sized particulate matter. Unlike traditional
filter technology that relies on ever more restrictive filter elements and
reduced flow rates in order to catch smaller particles, nanofilter technology
provides nearly unrestricted air flow, minimal pressure drop, and a substantial
increase in energy efficiency. We have tested this filter using both the SARS
virus and anthrax, and found that it effectively filtered both.

Money Laundering from the Motherland:
Refocusing International Organization Efforts to
Control Money Laundering

gwu.edu

33 Introduction

The Bank of New York scandal and the current wave of indictments serve as proof that
Russian money laundering is a difficult crime to prosecute. The Russian inability or unwillingness
to stop the exit of funds, combined with an international regime ill-equipped to deal with
money laundering outside of the traditional drug-related context, has led to the continued abuse
of the international banking system. As a result, Russia has lost billions of dollars in tax
revenue, and assistance from international organizations has been rerouted from its intended
beneficiaries.
This article discusses the Russian origins of funds used in money laundering transactions,
provides an overview of some of the major international agreements governing money
laundering, and offers a proposal to refocus the issue and combine current international
organizations to increase transparency and reduce international money laundering. The article
first outlines the major methods that Russian companies and individuals use to structure deals

Refocusing International Organization Efforts to
Control Money Laundering

Money laundering in Russia is a serious problem, both for the country’s domestic government and
for the international system. International funds designated to help the general population are
siphoned into offshore accounts, and the Russian government is unwilling or unable to stop the
exodus of funds. Moreover, the international regime is ill-equipped to deal with the situation. This
results in Russia losing billions of dollars in tax revenue, and the abuse of the international
banking system. This article offers a proposal to refocus theissue and combine current international
organizations to increase transparency and reduce international money laundering, since
current multilateral efforts to combat the problem have been ineffective.

Item 1. Changes in Control of Registrant.
---------------------------------

Prior to the merger with Kremlyovskaya Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("KGI"), as described in Item 2 below, and prior to the
cancellation of shares described in Item 5 below, the Registrant's Chairman,
Ian Rice<.b>, owned beneficially in excess of 51% of the Registrant's total issued
and outstanding shares of common stock and therefore he controlled the
Registrant. In connection with such merger, the Registrant issued an
aggregate of 89,125,000 shares of its common stock to the former shareholders
of KGI, none of which owns 10% or more of the Registrant's total issued and
outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of such issuance and the
cancellation of shares described in Item 5, Mr. Rice's percentage ownership of
the registrant was reduced to approximately 2% of the total issued and
outstanding shares of common stock. Therefore, he no longer controls the
Registrant although he remains its Chairman.

Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
-------------------------------------

On March 18, 1996 (the "Effective Date"), the Registrant, completed a
merger (the "Merger") with Kremlyovskaya Group, Inc., a privately held Delaware
corporation ("KGI"). Pursuant to the terms and provisions of an Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated the Effective Date (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among
the Registrant, AMC Merger Co., Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Registrant ("MergerCo"), KGI and Riccardo Fanchini and Robert
Gaspar, two principal shareholders of KGI, on the Effective Date, MergerCo was
merged with and into KGI, with KGI being the surviving entity.
In connection
therewith, the shares of MergerCo's common stock outstanding immediately prior
to the Merger were converted into shares of KGI's common stock and each of the
15,500 shares of KGI common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger
was converted into the right to receive 5,750 shares (89,125,000 in the
aggregate) of the Registrant's common stock.

KGI, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Kremlyovskaya Group NV, a
Belgium corporation, is engaged in the distribution of Kremlyovskaya vodka, a
proprietary brand of premium vodka manufactured by others pursuant to KGNV's
formula and specifications. The primary market for such vodka during 1995 was
Russia, where the Kremlyovskaya brand was the number one imported vodka in
quantity. KGNV also distributes, primarily in Russia, luxury consumer goods
such as chocolates, fine cigars and liquors, and general merchandise such as
cigarettes, beer and wine.

In connection with the Merger, Melissa Rice and Charles Buhlmann
resigned as directors of the Registrant and Robert Bruloot, Kurt Schlapfer,
Valentin Kassatkine and Anthony Cataldo
were appointed to the Registrant's
board of directors and Mr. Cataldo was appointed as the Registrant's Chief
Executive Officer.
