SDNY / UN GATE, Oct 3 – Chinese fraudster and businessman Cary Yan was the subject of a Federal indictment unsealed on September 2, 2022, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Using a UN-affiliated non-governmental organization, Yan paid bribes in New York to officers of the Marshall Islands and others. Indictment on Inner City Press' DocumentCloud here.
In 2018, Inner City Press from inside the UN reported on Cary Yan's suspicious activities, (including video here, and bribe-bought promotion by UNCA here) as it was reporting on the parallel UN bribery by Patrick Ho of Ye Jianming's NGO CEFC China Energy.
Now in October 2023, UN Spokesman Stephane Dujarric has lied about the whole affair, exposed by Inner City Press which he has banned. He said "his office had become aware of Yan and Zhou’s activities during the course of a broader internal investigation" - but Inner City Press asked him about it, before he had the Press thrown out.
Former Secretary General Ban “had no knowledge whatsoever of Mr. Nkolo’s activities,” and did not know that someone had paid to have a photo taken with him, Dujarric said" - another lie, as Ban took photos with convicted briber Ng Lap Seng at the UN Correspondents Association event in Cipriani, also exposed by Inner City Press.
"Lorenzo was still able to freely walk the halls of the institution at that time, and only lost his U.N. ID several years later, when it expired in August 2018, U.N. spokesman Dujarric said" -0 that is, after indictment and guilty plea, and after Inner City Press was thrown out of the UN with Dujarric connivance in July 2018. Corrupt.
On December 1, 2022, Yan and his co-defendant pled guilty. Inner City Press was there - thread:
[Update: after Inner City Press' initial report, Yan retained Jonathan Bolz, who also represented Patrick Ho. Word is Yan was extradited in from Thailand and will be presented before the assigned District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald, who also presided over sentencing to 15 years of UN rapist Karim Elkorany]
