In Corrupt UN of Guterres and de Croo $20K a Month of DSA of Candotti Exposed by UNDP Staff

SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 8 รข€“   How corrupt is today's UN system under Antonio Guterres and, at UNDP, Alexander de Croo? Today Inner City Press, banned from the UN by Guterres with none of its written questions answer by Spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming, follows up on the UNDP beat with this, sent to it yet another whistleblower:

It started last week with, Dear Matthew Russell Lee: At UNDP, the OHR Director is on annual leave until the end of April and will retire at the beginning of May 2026. The UNDP Chief of Staff, Michele Candotti, is also wrapping up and beginning his retirement, while still denying that 15 staff members inappropriately benefited from their expatriate status as internationally recruited staff.  We appealed to the UNDP Administrator, Alexander De Croo, to act on this long-standing corruption case. 

Now on April 8: Dear Matthew Russell Lee  Yes, the UNDP OHR Director is on leave until the end of April and will thankfully finally leave his empire of corruption at the beginning of May 2026. But staff need to be aware that the very same OHR Director that has been key in cutting people's jobs, whose contract was coming to an end in May 2026, was trying to blackmail senior management to give him a nice separation package so he wouldn't spill his dirt on them.   OHR Director also ensured that his chief enforcer Shazma Nathwani and other women  are well protected to continue abuse of authority throughout the organization.

So while people lose jobs, David Bearfield made sure to secure a significant pay package for himself and put his favorite women in secure positions.  One of the secrets that the OHR Director tried to keep is the Michele Candotti payments of $20K a month in DSA.

The corruption and abuse is deep.   Michele Candotti being paid $20K a month is all verifiable in Quantum. People have complained  but Ethics, OAI and the Administrator have all protected them. To have this relationship in the face of every UNDP staff is a disgrace

  UNDP Administrator, Alexander De Croo - any answer? USUN PR Mike Waltz? MUNGA??  Watch this site.
