In 1946, he moved to Venezuela, where he lived for the rest of his life. He was a successful businessman and part owner of ACO Group, a large Venezuelan automotive concern. He formed his own company in 1994. Harry Männil was accused by the Simon Wiesenthal Center of having participated in the murder of Jews while he worked for the political police in 1941–1942 during the German occupation of Estonia. After a four-year probe, Estonian investigators could find no evidence against him and he was cleared of the charges. Harry Männil was born into an iron salesman's family on May 17, 1920, in Tallinn, Estonia, and spent his childhood in Pääsküla, Tallinn. [1] [2] He graduated from the Gustav Adolf Grammar School in 1938 and from 1939–40 studied economics at the University of Tartu and the Tallinn University of Technology.[1] In the summer of 1941, during the Soviet occupation, he hid in a forest to avoid the mobilization.[1] Männil joined the political police of the Estonian Self-Administration as an assistant in September 1941.
