Amid UN Colombia Mission Scandals Misuse of Vehicle and Fuel Alleged by Whistleblowers



Amid UN Colombia Mission Scandals Misuse of Vehicle and Fuel Alleged by Whistleblowers

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

UN GATE, March 19 รข€“ How corrupt is today's UN under Antonio Guterres? Today's follow up, the first but certainly not last, 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:

This is not only misconduct. This is fraud.  Chief CDU, Federico Ledesma and his wife Tenporqry Chief ORM, Mar Brusola is using SRSG vehicle for funny business. This is not official duty. They take the most sensitive vehicle with no UN marking, no GPS, no control. No authorization, no paperwork, no request and no payment for fuel. This is deliberate action to avoid being seen.

  Why he choose this vehicle when he can request any vehicle like all staff? What is he doing that must be hidden? Where is he going, who he meeting?  Also, he is not paying for the fuel like us. This is misuse and abuse of UN resources. This is fraud. Using UN asset for personal activity and not paying cost is clear violation.  He is protected by transport officer who was fastly promoted from UNV HR to FS-5 and now close to FS-6, while posts are cut and others suffer.

This new officer is part of same fraudulent system created by Brusola and agreed to by the useless Yang Wang, toy CMS and crooked Russian doll Igor Kornienko also placed there by Brusola, who has full knowledge of the fraud and failed to report it. 

 Staff are scared of Chief CDU and Chief HR. The most dangerous and abusive couple in the mission. Every time they find out about a report against them, they threaten the staff and create fake investigations against them to retaliate.   This must be investigated immediately. No more silence


We'll have more on all this. Keep the info coming.
