SDNY COURTHOUSE, Aug 24 â The United
Nations Federal Credit Union has refused to comply with a
US subpoena. On August 20, the US filed a Petition against
theUNFCU in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York, where Inner City Press found and is
the first to report it.
The Petition says that the US served a
subpoena on UNFCU on February 9. On March 11, the return
date, UNFCU refused to appear and its "failure to comply
with the Summons continues to this date" - more than five
months later.
On August 24 the assigned District Judge J.
Paul Oetken docketed an "ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE: THIS IS A
COURT ORDER WHICH REQUIRES YOU TO APPEAR BEFORE THE
COURT," along with provision for UNFCU being served by US
Marshals. This is how low the UN system has fallen under
Antonio Guterres, who continues to ban Inner City Press
which reports on it and him.
The case is USA v. United Nations Federal
Credit Union, 1:26-mc-420 (Oetken)
