SDNY Courthouse,
Oct 27 – UN former staff
member Karim Elkorany was
arrested then freed on
$500,000 bond on September 2,
2020 in connection with
drugging and raping women in
Iraq while working for the UN
in 2016, then allegedly lying
to the FBI about it in 2017.
On
October 27,
2022, after
the testimony
of victims
including
about how
Elkorany while
a UN
"Communications
Specialist"
drugged and
raped them,
including in
the US,
Elkorany was
sentenced to
15 years in
prison.
Inner City Press
live tweeted it, here
OK - UN
rapist Karim Elkorany is up for sentencing.
In the run
up to the sentencing (already 20 minutes late
in starting), I rode the elevator up to the
21st floor with three of Elkorany's family
members (& supporters).
They
were dismissive of the UN connection and
wouldn't answer when asked about the victims
In the courtroom, there are many victims.
First Dawn Cardi his lawyer came out of the
holding cell, then Elkorany himself, in prison
beige, hands behind his back. Cardi came to
speak with the family members (who'd forgotten
to bring COVID masks)
Judge
Buchwald enters. At the prosecution table, two
FBI agents. Defense: Dawn Cardi, 99 Madison
Ave NY NY. She says, "His family is in the
back." Yeah
- the trio rude and dismissive on the
elevator. Nice family... not.
Judge
Buchwald: We have 9 written statements from
individuals described as Victims... I realize
Victim 20 is not in the plea agreement. There
is a letter of support [In the docket, Nur
Elkorany, rude on elevator, wrote of Karim
Elkoran's "previous work abroad"
Judge
Buchwald: This proceeding is unusual, I've
never had this many victims. They will speak
1st. Asst US Attorney Lara Pomerantz: We'll
follow the order of the numbers in the Pre
Sentencing Report Victim 1: Who do I describe
the impact of this crime on my life?
Victim 1:
There is no part of me that has gone
untouched. On Nov 9, 2016, I was 31 and
married. I traveled to Kurdistan. Karim
Elkorany was there as a Communications
Specialist with the United Nations [whose @UN_Spokesperson has
refused all comment]
Victim 1:
We went to a restaurant. I was drugged - then
I'm in Elkorany's UN marked vehicle. He drives
me to his apartment & apes me. I feel
pain. I can't speak. I can't move. When I woke
up next afternoon, I was disoriented. My body
was in pain, a fingernail off
Victim
1: I wonder, Did he take pictures of me? By
drugging me, only he has knowledge of the
depth of his depravity. I have an emptiness my
mind fills with shame. I apologized to my
editor. I couldn't walk.
Victim
1: Elkorany sent me a message. I told MSF,
they falsely told me it was too late for a
drug test. I returned home. I told my husband
and (pause) I felt the deepest pain I have
ever experienced. It would devastate not only
me but also those who loved me.
Victim 1: I
was terrified of my husband, until last year,
five years after being raped. I had memory
loss, of people I knew. I gained weight. I'm a
freelance journalist. The trauma killed my
focus. My output dropped, I lost my income. My
career has never recovered
Victim
1: Reading about sexual abuse trial causes me
trauma: Harvey Weinstein... Bill Cosby...
Ghislaine Maxwell. I imagined this case going
to trial and what the defense would say about
me. [Note - this rapist was a United Nations
Communications Specialist. @UN_Spokesperson has
refused all questions on what SG @AntonioGuterres knew
and when, even as Inner City Press asked &
wrote 21 stories. 1st:
Victim 1:
When I found out he had raped others, I had to
do something. He was drugging and raping
protected by his United Nations authority. The
delay of three and a half years had a
devastating consequence on my life.
Victim 1:
By 2019 I was making progress [& Elkorany
was raping again, in the US, still employed by
the UN: documentcloud.org UN Victim Statement:
UN Staffer Sexually Abused 13+ in Iraq &
US but Guterres Kept Paying Him while...
Victim 1: I
had a question: Why did it take so long? When
the US Attorney's Office brought charges in
2020 it involved only the crime against me.
[Note: Elkorany drugged at least 19 women, and
raped at least 13]
Victim 1:
This system is harmful to victims. Reading the
sentencing submissions devastated me again. He
victimized 19 other women. He perfected a
method [while working for the UN from 2012
through 2019, when he raped a woman in the USA
Victim
1: Some of my own colleagues texted with
Elkorany about these abuses - well known
journalists, accessories to his crimes. They
have escaped accountability. I am not
requesting a specific sentence, only to stop
Karim Elkorany. He should pay Inner City Press
@innercitypress · 2h Victim 1: I want to speak
to the defendant. Karim, I want you to look at
me, one of the countless lives you damaged.
Your family members have no opinion on your
guilt [That's what the told Inner City Press
in the elevator up, too - what a family]
Victim
1: You told everyone I was lying. For six
years I've gone through hell because of what
you did to me. Now it is your turn to shoulder
the responsibility for your actions. [Elkorany
asks for light jail sentence because of
threats he says he'll face]
Judge
Buchwald: The government made it clear to me
that the adjournment was needed for you to be
here. Ms. Pomerantz? AUSA: Next up is Victim
2. Victim 2 removes mask, says: For so long
I've remained unable to comprehend the pain
Karim caused me.
Victim 2: I
have worried that I look like a fool for what
Karim did to me. The only people served by my
silence are Karim and people like him [Many
in the United Nations system, who did nothing,
and worse]
Victim
2: They knew Karim was a predator. But they
said I was making my own choice. He used his
position [with the UN]. I am sorry (sobs) I
did not stop Karim. I feel empathy for those
who came before me. I feel guilty about those
who followed
Victim 2: I thought I was the only one. I own
gratitude to Victim 1 in particular. Karim's
abuse of power is not deserving of any
meaningful leniency. All his talk about caring
for others was worse than a sham.
Victim
2: What were the drugs? Who else knew? He
still won't say. "Nothing works the way it is
supposed to. Not the UN." Inner City Press
@innercitypress · 2h Victim: I'd like to
address the defendant directly. It took me a
while to piece everything together. Your
gaslighting meant I didn't suspect you of
being a predator like some many other
colleagues
Victim:
My self-proclaimed feminist friend Karim
drugged and sexually assaulted me and
countless others. My body shook. The body
keeps the score. Did you intend to rape me
each time you invited me over?
Victim,
to UN rapist Karim Elkorany: You wrote in
2010, "Silence means yes."
Victim: I
hope you serve the maximum sentence. [Press
question: why is 15 years the maximum for UN
rapist Karim Elkorany, when Ghislaine Maxwell
got 20 years, and R.Kelly 30 years? What's
wrong here?]
Victim: We
will go on and begin again. Karim, your story
ends today. AUSA: Victim 14. Victim 14: Karim
invited me to his apartment. The rest is a
blank. I bought into the carefully constructed
facade of a predatorVictim 14: He told me he
would roofie a high school girl and rape her.
He probably did. He sent me an update from the
UN in Baghdad, saying It's just like college
here, except all aid workers.
Victim
14: My best friend lived with Karim for a
year. But he'll never admit to anything that
cannot be proven. I was supposed to graduate
with a PhD, but I had to delay due to stress
and trauma. I urge you to impose the maximum
sentence [Only 15 years]
AUSA:
Victim 9? Victim 9: (Speaking over the phone)
I was unable to do a written statement. I have
flashback-- [Then a male voice cuts in,
oblivious. Some wonder: @AntonioGuterres
? There's been no answer
Victim
9: He should get the maximum sentence. AUSA:
Next is Victim 10, also by phone. Victim 10: I
was trying to find my footing in the
humanitarian sphere and Karim Elkorany
pretended to be my friend. Then he drugged and
raped me.
Victim
10: I struggled for months to find a new job
after I "abandoned my post." She reads from
statement: "You used your position in a
powerful agency, in a lawless country, to prey
on humanitarian aid workers. There is a
special place in hell for you." #UN
AUSA:
Victim 20. Victim 20: [her statement says
Karim Elkorany "pretended to show compassion
toward vulnerable Iraqis when he started
working for the UN." NOTE: Not a single UN
Correspondent has come to cover this UN rape
trial, or answer Victim 20: Karim Elkorany is
a serial rapist, and no one else should have
to suffer because of him. He's a predator. He
is a threat to public safety. #UN
AUSA: Any
more victims? Victim 7: I hadn't planned to
speak. But Karim Elkorany reconnected with my
in Dupont Circle. In his apartment in
Kalorama, he raped me. After talking about
Ambassador Stephens, killed in Benghazi.
Victim
7: After I was raped by Karim Alkorany [UN
"Communications Specialist"], I went for the
State Department to Jamaica and elsewhere. I
drank your drink so I felt it must have been
my fault. But now I've heard from others, I
can speak.
Victim
7: I haven't told anyone in my family. No one
knows I'm here today. It's shocking what you
did to me. I'm moving on with my life. Victim
13 (over the phone) - I am choosing to speak.
I met Karim in Baghdad with the UN
Judge
Buchwald: We'll hear from Ms [Dawn] Cardi,
Karim Elkorany's laywer. Cardi: This is a most
difficult day. There is nothing he can say.
He'd beginning the journey of receiving
treatment for mental health and substance
abuse problems. [He worked for UN 2012-19
Cardi:
Karim knows he may never be forgiven. But do
we lock him up and throw away the key so to
speak with a 15 year sentence-- Press Q: How
is that the maximum? Be aware: the guidelines
agreed to in the plea agreement are even lower
Cardi:
Believe Dr Krueger, about "pre-arousal
patterns," this "coercive arousal pattern,"
his diagnosis. [He's "Clinical Professor of
Psychiatry, Columbia U" and said the 2019 rape
was only after an FBI interview, not an arrest
- UNreal
Cardi:
Supervised release will be the proving ground.
We have no idea, the government cannot
predict. An MCC guard who raped got much less
[Inner City Press covered that case, here
Cardi: We
are asking this court to allow him to continue
his journey.
[Note: Krueger wrote "Empathy for the
pedophile.]
Assistant
US Attorney: Karim Elkorany drugged his
victims before raping them. The pain is
carried by his victims, in the US and abroad.
We ask for 15 years. He did not use condoms.
He did not care about their health or
wellbeing. He harvested their emails AUSA: Dr.
Krueger's recommendation is abstinence, for a
person he says gets sexual arousal from
incapacitation. This is not a solution. It
does not make sense.
AUSA
Pomerantz: The defendant imposed a life
sentence on his victims. Your Honor should
impose 15 years. Justice demands the maximum.
Judge Buchwald: Mr. Elkorany? Karim Elkorany:
I realize that words of apology will only ring
hollow here today.
Elkorany: I
am deeply, deeply sorry for the pain I've
cause, the trail of relationships, the
violations of trust... I accept treatment,
readily. I have shamed my family. [They sure
didn't act shamed in the elevator with the
Press on the way up to the courtroom]
Elkorany:
I want to take care of my parents in their
declining years. Judge Buchwald: I reject the
objection to 23; as to 59, a victim believed
she received an STD from Elkorany, chlamydia.
He denied it, but it's asymptomatic. I reject
the objection.
Judge
Buchwald: It's true Mr. Elkorany only pled to
19 instances, not 20... I reject the objection
to 114.
Judge
Buchwald: The Probation Dep't believes the
guideline is higher than the US Attorney's
Office agreed to. [Apparently 33 to 41 months
?!?
Judge
Buchwald: He admits to Count 1, false
statements to the FBI. Count 3 charges an
assault of an internationally protected
person, Victim 2. The plea agreement continues
other admissions: drugged and sexually
assaulted 13 women, & 6 others.
Judge
Buchwald: The maximum sentence for that he
pled to is 15 years. Defense wants the
stipulated [agreed] guidelines, 33 to 41
months. But he assaulted Victim 3 in NJ and
DC. What would be the punishment? in NJ, it's
up to 20 years. In DC, it's any term or life
Some might
say, if 33 to 41 months were going to be
agreed to, along with a 15 year max, maybe it
should have been prosecuted in state court in
NJ or DC. Judge Buchwald: This shows 15 years
is not excessive.
Judge
Buchwald reads from a Victim Statement; "You
befriended me at the UN in Iraq - then you
drugged and raped me."
Judge
Buchwald: We did not hear any apology. He says
he lost his moral compass. But he didn't find
it for 17 years. His explanations are lame
& offensive.
I left something upstairs but I'll do
it from memory: he blamed his parents because
he were working too hard
Judge
Buchwald: While out on bail, Mr. Elkorany made
no effort to get any kind of therapy. The
sentence is reflect the seriousness of the
offense... I sentence Karim Elkorany to 60
months on count 1, 120 on count 2, consecutive
- 15 years.
Judge
Buchwald: I want to commend the women who
spoke up and participated. You are so brave
and articulate.
A
superseding indictment
belatedly unsealed on October
29, 2020 said Elkorany raped a
UN contractor, in the US and
Dohuk, Iraq. And still the UN
did nothing.
On May 24, 2022
Elkorany pleaded guilty:
"KARIM ELKORANY, a former
communications specialist with
the United Nations (“UN”) in
Iraq, pled guilty before
United States District Judge
Naomi Reice Buchwald to
sexually assaulting an
internationally protected
person and making false
statements to cover up another
sexual assault. In
connection with the plea,
ELKORANY also admitted that he
drugged and/or sexually
assaulted seventeen additional
victims.
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams
said: “Karim Elkorany
admitted today to drugging at
least 19 victims, and sexually
assaulting at least 13 of them
while they were unconscious
after he drugged them.
He committed many of his
heinous crimes while employed
by the United Nations." He
raped while employed by the UN
- AND THE UN DID NOTHING. In
fact, the UN helped him flee
and do it again.
Victims have put
in letters for sentencing and
Inner City Press, banned from
entering the UN due to its
accountability coverage, has
emailed UN Spokesman Stephane
Dujarric, Melissa Fleming,
Antonio Guterres and others
each day, on each letter, for
comment and what the UN ever
did. Nothing. Here is Victim
2: "My name is . I worked in
the humanitarian aid and
development sector in and
before accepting a job with in
Iraq. When I came to Iraq, I
was in love and that
relationship changed what I
envisioned for my life. I was
happy. Although far from home,
I had a lifeline to supportive
loved ones and was able to
pursue my career in good
health. I would lose all these
things after meeting Karim. In
2014, I met Karim in Erbil. He
said the Iraq office was
hiring, and they offered me a
consultancy. Gregarious and
charismatic, Karim waxed
lyrical about the privilege
and prestige of working for
the UN over dinner, or drinks,
or cups of tea. I felt proud
to work for the U.N. It was
there that Karim began to drug
and assault me. This would
often happen over an evening
cup of Chamomile tea. Because
I was drugged, I couldn’t hold
the memory in my head long
enough to process it, let
alone talk about it. I was
confused and ashamed. Soon, I
would find myself utterly
isolated due to what I now
recognize as a systematic
effort to cut me off from my
entire support network. My
immediate supervisor was a man
named Jeffrey Bates, but he
was rarely in the office. His
absence left Karim
unsupervised, unaccountable,
and in charge of section. His
position offered him an
enormous amount of influence
and numerous opportunities to
supervise me directly and, as
a result, chances to sexually
assault me. Normal requests
quickly became an exercise in
control, authority, and
humiliation. “You can’t make
that call home, I’m calling a
meeting.” “I need to know
where you are at all times,
it’s a security issue.” “You
can’t leave this room until I
say you’re done with work.”
Other UN staff knew about
Karim. Before I ever set foot
in Iraq, someone warned me to
watch out for him. The first
day that I arrived on the UN
Compound, someone approached
me and said: “The moment I saw
you, I knew who hired
you.” Full 9 page letter
on Inner City Press'
DocumentCloud here
On September 3,
Elkorany sought a long delay
in sentencing - the day after
another UN-linked fraudster,
Cary Yan, has his indictment
unsealed. See a pattern here?
Elkorany's letter: "Our firm
represents defendant Karim
Elkorany in the
above-captioned action. We
write to request an
adjournment of Mr. Elkorany’s
sentencing, which is currently
scheduled for September 29,
2022."
On September 6 in
a partially redacted letter
the US opposed, quoting
Victim-2 that she mentally
prepares for all court dates
in this case and is hopeful
that the sentencing will give
her some relief." To seal /
redact about Victim-1, the
prosecutors cite US v. Amodeo
on "venerable common law
exception to the presumption
of access to judicial
documents."
On September 8,
Elkorany's lawyer reiterated
the request to delay
sentencing - and included in
the letter the the Probation
Department in its
pre-sentencing report is
recommending a sentence of 15
years.
On October 17,
the US Attorney's Office
formally asked for 15 years,
and listed 20 victims.
Meanwhile, Elkorany is sealing
portions of his sentencing
memo. Watch this site.
Credulous UN
insider media reported, "the
woman Elkorany assaulted in
2016 informed the UN at the
time, and the organization
investigated his conduct. When
the UN concluded its own
investigation, it referred the
case to US authorities,
Stéphane Dujarric, the UN
spokesperson, said. The FBI
began its probe in 2017
and Elkorany resigned from
the UN in 2018."
So even by this
apologist account in
Bluewashing media giving the
UN a Pass, the UN kept paying
him after it knew he raped.
And never answered the
detailed questions of Inner
City Press which Guterres
banned. The UN is totally
corrupt, and USUN in now
complicit. We'll have more on
this.
On November
9, 2020 another brief status
conference in the case, which
Inner City Press live tweeted,
below.
On August 17,
2021, Elkorany's motions to
try to suppress evidence
against him, gathered with
search warrants, were denied,
order on Inner City Press'
DocumentCloud here.
On January 28, 2022 the US
Attorney's Office asked for
yet more delay in the UN rape
case, to February 28. But it
did say "if the parties are
unable to reach agreement on a
pretrial disposition within
that time, the Government
expect to ask the Court to set
a trial date, citing 18 USC
3771(a)(7) for the proposition
that victims have the right to
proceeding free from
unreasonable delay. Yeah.
On February 28,
2022, the US wrote in again,
saying a trial date should be
set - but not too soon; one or
both defense counsel are
unavailable June 9-10, June
14, July 23-August 6 and
October 7-21. Oh.
On April 19, yet
another conference in the UN
rapist case. This time the US
Attorney's Office said it is
trying to settle the case -
with the victims knowledge? -
and asked for a date of May 4.
That way, they said, if a plea
is not reached the case can be
reassigned to the trial judge
and a request put in by the
May 15 deadline to request a
large courtroom for a trial.
Or if the deadline is missed,
more delay. Inner City Press
asked, in April: what about
the victims? Why is the UN and
its rapists treated with such
kids-gloves?
On May 4, the US
Attorney's Office wrote in to
cancel the day's proceeding,
saying " The Government has
not to date extended a formal
plea offer to the defendant
and intends to consult with
the victims in this case
before extending such an
offer. Nevertheless, the
parties believe that it is
likely that a pretrial
disposition will be agreed
upon in the next two weeks and
therefore respectfully request
that the Court set a date for
a change of plea hearing on
May 20, 2022 at a time
convenient for the Court. The
Government respectfully
requests that the change of
plea hearing be held
in-person. The Government
understands the defendant may
seek to request to have the
hearing via video conference."

From November 9,
2020: AUSA Richenthal says the
US is reviewing more
electronic devices.
Elkorany's lawyer
Dawn Cardi asks for 90 more
days' delay, since some of the
discovery is marked
"Restricted."
Judge Buchwald:
In the times of COVID, to
maintain social distance
between lawyer and defendant,
90 days is not unreasonable.
We are heading into the end of
the year period, very
different this year. I ask you
to make sure that the 90 days
is all the time needed
And so
February 9 at 10:30 am was
arrived at. And Inner City
Press again covered it, here
and below (Podcast here)
Now on May
17, Elkorany's lawyers say
they "have provided to the
government defense counsel's
pretrial motions... we intend
to confer with the government
about its view as to how to
proceed in terms of filing
and/or redacting and/or
seeking the Court's permission
to file under seal certain
documents." Secrets about UN
rapes - but this is a public
process, despite the UN's
routine cover ups.
And delays: on July 23, a
request was made to exclude
time under the Speedy Trial
Act, which is not only for
defendants but also the
public, from July 30 to
October 28. Where is this case
going? More immunity and cover
up?
From February 9:
Elkorany's lawyer wants to
delay 90 days.
The Assistant US
Attorney says given the
victims in this case they want
to move faster.
Elkorany's lawyer
says she has some state trials
so she need more time.
Now AUSA says 30
days to respond to defense's
motions. That would be June
10. And see here.
Inner City Press,
which has asked the UN in
writing for comment, will
continue to cover it.
The
US Attorney for the Southern
District of New York stated
that Elkorany,
"a former
communications
specialist
with the
United Nations
in Iraq, was
charged in an
Indictment in
Manhattan
federal court
with two
counts of
making false
statements to
special agents
of the FBI in
an effort to
conceal his
drugging and
sexual assault
of multiple
women while he
worked for the
UN...In or
around
December 2016,
Victim-1
reported the
sexual assault
to the
UN. The
UN initiated
an
investigation,
through which
ELKORANY was
notified of
the substance
of Victim-1’s
allegations
against him."
The UN
claims it has a zero tolerance
and blacklisting policy for
sexual abuse, but despite a
victim complaining to the UN
in this case, on Wednesday
Elkorany was leaving freely in
New Jersey when he was
arrested.
The
superseding indict which was
intially wrongly kept under
seal says Elkorany raped
Victim-2, a UN contractor, in
Dohuk, Iraq and in the US. So
the UN's inaction contributed
to the rape of a UN contractor
- and still NOTHING from the
UN of Antonio Guterres. We'll
have more on this.
On
September 16 the US Attorney's
Office, already under fire for
withholding information, filed
a Protective Order to withhold
from the Press and public
information about this UN
official's "names and/or other
identifying information or
photographs of individuals
alleged to have been sexually
assaulted and/or drugged by
the defendant or with whom the
defendant had a romantic or
physical relationship; (b)
non-public nude, semi-nude, or
sexualized photographs," if it
has been " provided to the
Government by the United
Nations." So the UN has been
producing pornography, and is
not itself indicted, only this
Elkorany? We'll have more on
this.
On
September 2 after 6 pm, as
exclusively reported by Inner
City Press which has been
banned from the UN for its
questions, was released on a
bond to be signed by his
father and brother, but
allowed to leave home to work
from 8 am to 6 pm.
There was another
proceeding on September 10,
before District Judge Naomi
Reice Bulkwald. Inner City
Press live tweeted it, here:
Elkorany's lawyer
has not responded to the US
Attorney's proposed protective
order. Note: little in this
case should be withheld or
sealed - it is about spending
public's money for a UN
staffer to drug and rape women
in Iraq, then have the UN
cover it up.
AUSA
Pomerantz: There are cell
phone and laptops that the FBI
is in the process of
extracting. [What will
they show about the UN
of @AntonioGuterres ? ]
Since the
cell phones and devices are
being extracted to produce
discovery, next date is
November 9, 11:45 am. Inner
City Press will continue to
cover this case and the UN.
Then in the
docket, this: "Pretrial
Conference as to Karim
Elkorany held on 9/10/2020.
Initial conference as to Karim
Elkorany held by telephone on
9/10/2020. Lara Pomerantz,
Amanda Houle and Daniel
Richenthal for the government;
Dawn Cardi for the defendant;
Defendant Karim Elkorany;
court reporter present.
Conference scheduled for
November 9, 2020 at 11:45a.m.
Speedy trial time excluded
until November 9, 2020."
Inner City
Press also covered the
September 2, 6:20 pm
presentment of Elkorany, here:
Elkorany is
represented by Dawn Cardi of
Cardi & Edgar LLP of 99
Madison Avenue.
Judge Cott: I
take it you are retained, Ms.
Cardi?
Cardi: I am.
Judge Cott: Mr
Elkorany, if you are a citizen
of another country you may
have a right to consular
notification.
Cardi: He pleads
not guilty.
Judge Cott:
First, confirm you are waiving
a public reading.
Cardi: Correct.
AUSA Houle: "The
parties have a proposed bail
package. A $500,000 personal
recognizance bond co-signed by
his father Awny ELkorany and
brother Nor Elkorany.
Surrender of all passports by
five pm tomorrow. Home
detention at parents' home.
AUSA Houle: He
can leave 8 am to 6 pm for
work.
AUSA Houle:
Refrain from any contact with
victims. Drug testing and
treatment as directed by Pre
Trial Services. Release today
provided he is fitted for GPS
which we understand Pre Trial
is prepared to do.
AUSA Houle: Dan
Richenthal has confirmed they
can do it. Richenthal:
Officer Trale (sp) told me it
would be possible to 5 pm. So
I'm not positive.
Judge Cott: What
do you want to do? Cardi: I am
proposing he return home and
return tomorrow morning.
Cardi: The
suretors probably can't sign
today either.
Judge Cott: When
was he arrested?
AUSA Houle: 6 am
this morning.
Cardi: My client
does not have his phone and no
money to get back to New
Jersey. Can someone lend him
the money?
Judge Cott: I
cannot deal with minutia like
this right now.
Elkorany
was listed as a UN
"Communications Specialist" --
Fleming's forte -- on press
releases about Toyota, here.
He was interviewed on UN
Radio, here.
But of course, UN Spokesperson
Staphane Dujarric claims he
knows nothing about it and
that Guterres has a
"principled position."
Inner City
Press is asking the UN, On UN
staffer Karim Elkorany,
indicted in SDNY for lying to
FBI about drugging and raping
women while working for UN in
Iraq, immediately state what
the outcome of the victim
complaining to the UN was -
and why Elkorany was back at
liberty in New Jersey.
This is
specifically asked in the
context of this statement:
"UNDP participates in a joint
project with other UN agencies
to maintain a system-wide
database called "Clear Check"
to ensure that former
personnel involved in
substantiated cases of sexual
harassment, exploitation and
abuse with one entity in the
UN system cannot be employed
by another entity." So what
did the UN actually do, other
than transport a rapist from
New Jersey to Iraq then
bringing him home to live
free?
The case is US v.
Elkorany, 20-cr-437
(Buchwald). Watch this site.
