UN GATE, Sept 25 – How corrupt is today's UN under Antonio Guterres? Today's follow up, just after the UN again blocked Inner City Press from entry even with a confirmed invitation to an event about international law, is yet once again on his mission in Colombia, about which his spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming refuse all Press questions. Inner City Press has asked them, and others, about the newest sex abuse case against the UN there. Now this, from UN whistleblowers through Inner City Press:

Dear Matthew Russell Lee, please publish:
 
   "You have a recording of an interview made by CDU Federico Ledesma and Ana Maria Isaza to a national staff, during an investigation against the corruption and harassment of Jaime Muñoz, now happily enjoying early retirement protected by Ledesma, Mar Brusola and the sad Yang Wang who still struggling to learn basic phrases in spanish. During this interview the national staff questioned why Ledesmas and OIOS have been turning a blind eye to all of the reports against Muñoz, male International staff being accused by more than 7 Colombian staff and contractors and even by a military observer, while being quick and swift to open and investigation against female chief supply chain accused by two International staff with no evidence. The question by the national staff enraged Ledesma who started berating her and telling her that national staff has no right to question the methods of the UN.

 These behaviors should be known by President Abelardo de la Espriella as well as by the UN ambassador Mauricio Gaona. UNVMC has not only been a focus of corruption it has mistreated and abused Colombian staff time and time again causing more than two staff members to require psychiatric treatment as the result of the harassment and another being physically incapacitated for life."
