In Corrupt Guterres UN World 24th ITU Letter to Inner City Press Questions Counsel w/o Legal



In Corrupt Guterres UN World 24th ITU Letter to Inner City Press Questions Counsel w/o Legal

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

UN GATE, April 27  รข€“ How corrupt is the UN-world system under Antonio Guterres, who bans the Press which investigates? This example is again from ITU, International Telecommunication Union, whose whistleblowers have, like others, reached out to banned Inner City Press, which put ITU questions to 30 plus UN spokesperson with no reply:

"Dear Matthew Russell Lee:  There needs to be accountability at ITU, ahead of its Council that begins on 28 April.

 Mysteriously absent is Antoine Dore, the head of legal, whose absence is noteworthy given that Council is ITU's most important annual meeting with Member States, and just prior to the  Plenipotentiary Conference when there will be elections for elected officials.  Is there a legitimate reason for him to still be fully paid, at around 20k per month, while on unexplained leave for many months?  Delegates can also enquire about the Deputy Secretary-General, Tomas Lamanauskas, and his alleged detainment at the Swiss border for possession of an illegal substance.  No official statement has yet been issued by ITU!"

More coming.

After repeated refusal to respond by spokespeople including Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming, here was the first complaint on Inner City Press' DocumentCloud here. On June 19, 2025 Inner City Press re-applied to re-enter the UN to ask these questions, application here.
UNGA went by - nothing. Then in January 2026, with no explanation or rationale given, a terse denial. Totally corrupt.
