UN
Guterres Set To Reward Sexual
Harasser Colin Stewart Exposed
Like Shiotani By Inner City

UN GATE, SDNY,
June 29 – UN
Secretary
General
Antonio
Guterres
claims he has
a zero
tolerance
policy on
sexual
harassment,
but continues
to reward UN
officials who
are charged
with
harassment.
Inner City
Press
previously reported
on Guterres
promoting his
official
Fabrizio
Hochschild
Drummond of
Chile, after
sexual
harassment in
his own 38th
floor office,
to "Special
Adviser of the
Secretary-General
on the
Preparations
for the
Commemoration
of the United
Nations’ 75th
Anniversary."
Today Inner
City Press,
now banned
from the UN by
Guterres for
361 days,
exclusively
reports on
another reward
being fulled
in Guterres'
world of
double-speak,
harassment and
hypocrisy.
Colin Stewart
is accused of
sexual
harassment,
covered up by
Guterres
official to
protect yet
another
official - and
Steward is
about to have
his UN
contract
extended at
head of
MINURSO,
another of
Guterres'
failing
peacekeeping
missions.
There is
pushback by
some UN staff
and
whistleblowers,
but these
people under
Guterres are
ignored and retaliated
against.
While Stewart
was Political
Director at
the UN Office
in Addis Ababa
the serious
charge arose.
In typical UN
fashion a
cover up
began. But the
charge
gathered force
and was soon
seen as being
inconvenient
for Stewart's
immediate
supervisor
Haile
Menkerios.
That's
when the real
cover-up team
got active,
including
Kyoko Shiotani
who Inner City
Press has
previously
shown to have
gotten her
husband an
entirely
unmerited paid
UN job on the
UN website
while serving
as chief of
staff to UN
Political
Affairs boss
Rosemary
DiCarlo.

it's even
worse than it
looks...
When Inner
City Press,
after
receiving no
answers to its
questions from
Guterres'
spokesman
Stephane
Dujarric, ran
its exclusives
about the
all-in-the-family
website
contract to
John van
Rosendaal, it
was twice
roughed up by
Guterres UN
Security
Lieutenant
Ronald E.
Dobbins and
five others
who refused to
give their
names. It has
now been
banned from
any entry of
the UN for 361
days, with its
written
questions
unanswered by
Dujarric.
Also
involved in
the sexual
harassment
cover up:
Nathalie
Ndongo-Seh,
then
Menkerios'
chief of
staff, and
Fatemeh Ziai.
Guterres' UN
is totally
corrupt,
answers to
questions and
roughs up and
bans the Press
which
asks.
Now there are
voices inside
the UN,
sources of
banned Inner
City Press,
outraged that
the absent and
bloated
Secretary
General
Antonio
Guterres is
about to
reward another
harasser while
spending
public money
to cultivate a
false image of
himself to try
to get a
second term. L'affaire
Colin
Stewart is
another test.
Guterres has
already failed
enough tests
to be fired or
worse. And
this one?
Watch this
site.
Downtown at
the SDNY
courthouse
which Inner
City Press now
covers daily,
Vivian Wang,
who as money
manager for
convicted UN
briber Ng Lap
Seng's South
South News
made payments
to disgraced
President of
the UN General
Assembly John
Ashe, was
given a time
served
sentence on
June 26 by
U.S. District
Court for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
George B.
Daniels.
Wang's lawyers
at Goodwin
Proctor, in a
heavily
redacted
sentencing
submission,
stated that
her deceased
husband Forest
Cao "was 57
years old adn
had no known
health
problems of
medical
conditions. No
autopsy was
performed."
It
also says, as
to UN
President of
the General
Assembly John
Ashe, that
while awaiting
trial on UN
bribery
charges "his
death was
reported as
the result of
a
'weightlifting
accident'
after a
barbell
apparently
crushed his
throat."
After the
sentencing,
Inner City
Press with
covered the Ng
Lap Seng trial
before SDNY
Judge Vernon
Broderick
daily asked
Wang's lawyer
Derek A. Cohen
if he was
implying that
Forest Cao and
John Ashe were
killed, and
why he had so
heavily
redacted this
sentencing
submission.
"It
speaks for
itself," Cohen
said by the
elevators.
Likewise the
Assistant U.S.
Attorney on
the case Daniel
C. Richenthal
declined
Inner City
Press'
question about
who beyond Ng
Lap Seng Ms.
Wang had
cooperated
against.
Judge
Daniels did
not preside
over the trial
of Ng Lap
Seng. He
accepted the
government's
recommendation
of time served
with very
little
inquiry.
He said as if
by rote that
corruption of
the UN is a
serious
matter. But if
so, why should
a person who
paid bribes in
the UN get
such a light
sentence with
little public
showing of the
benefit of
their
cooperation?
Corruption has
continued at
the UN since
the
prosecution of
Ng Lap Seng,
resulting in
his four year
prison
sentence. A
second,
separately
prosecution
was brought
against
Patrick Ho of
CEFC China
Energy, an entity
which also
tried to buy
the oil
company of
Lisbon-based
Gulbenkian
Foundation
which employed
current UN
Secretary
General
Antonio
Guterres as a
compensated
board member.
Neither in the
Ho nor Ng Lap
Seng cases
where any of
the UN
Secretariat
officials
implicated in
the bribery
schemes
prosecuted.
This laxity
can be
contrasted
with another
SDNY
proceeding a
mere hour
later, in
which Judge P.
Kevin Castel
looked behind
the U.S.
Attorney's
Office's 5k1.1
cooperation
letters and
imposed jail
time on the
four siblings,
the Seggermans,
who evaded
taxes. That
underlying
case was USA
v. Little,
12-cr-647
(Castel). This
bifurcated
case is USA
v. Wang,
16-cr-495
(Daniels).
Vivi
Wang helped
bribe the UN,
and on June 26
she got a time
served
sentence for
undefined
cooperation.
Judge Castel
looked behind
the
government's
5K1.1 letter
but Judge
Daniels did
not. And the
UN continues
corrupt. Inner
City Press
will have
more, much
more, on this.
