UN GATE, Jan 22 – How corrupt is today's UN, under Antonio Guterres? Well, now the UN system has quietly opened a bank account in a Russian bank, while Guterres' spokesman Stephane Dujarric refuses Press questions about it.
Putin is Guterres' Papacito - and Sovcombank brags about it.
For months Guterres used his misnamed "good offices" to lobby to get Russian banks off the US sanctions list.
Now his UN system has opened a Russian bank account - but while refusing all of Inner City Press' written questions, Dujarric answered an in-person softball on January 22 with a dodge:
"that refers to something for a UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) facility. I will give you the contacts at UNEP. I have no information on it from here, but you should contact our colleagues at UNEP."
But UNEP, like other parts of the dying UN system, has been ordered by Guterres not to answer Press questions. Today's UN is totally corrupt.
