UN
Fraudulent Coin Offering With
China and Ambassador Is The
Responsibility of UN Guterres
By Matthew
Russell Lee, Exclusive; Video
UN GATE, Oct 7 –
A UN diplomat who helped
previously UN briber Francis
Lorenzo launder money, Carlos
Garcia, was never disciplined
as UN Secretary General
Antonio Guterres is focused on
covering up his own links to
UN bribery. On September 28
Inner City Press
exclusively reported
that Carlos Garcia is still
misusing the UN name, selling
fraudulent coins in South
Korea.
Nine
days later all of the scam's
weblinks went down - but the
UN never answered Inner City
Press' public
and e-mailed written questions,
and they will allow Garcia to
do it again, just as they
allowed him to continue
entering and using the UN even
after Inner City Press showed
that he was named in the SDNY
court as a UN money launderer.
Allowing this is
the fault of Guterres, the
most corrupt Secretary General
in the UN's history. He allows
corruption because he is,
himself, corrupt - linked to
the SDNY-exposed UN briber
CEFC China Energy, and
censoring the Press 461 days
to conceal it.
Today Inner
City Press uploaded this
video of Garcia launching
the coin scheme.
Here is a
sample correspondence Inner
City Press has received: "Dear
Inner City Press editor,
I read your Twitter
and news
about the fraud UN Coin
business (WUC Coin) by Carlos
Garcia and Charles Lu. After
your twitter about WUC Coin,
all the WUC Coin information,
video links, and other
introductions were deleted.
And managers are dealing with
this fake pyramid scam
underwater. And said after a
few months they will reopen
the WUC Coin website and
dealing websites.
Actually I was a victim of WUC
Coin in Singapore.
I want to report more
information about Carlos
Garcia and the Chinese guy,
Charles Lu, who is the top
pyramid scam in China. But I
also know that Charles Lu and
Carlos Garcia are too rich,
strong, having good network to
let them down. Carlos
and Lu are using two
organizations for collecting
pyramid scam money in
Singapore and other South Asia
about the WUC Coin. They
also registered several
private companies in Sierra
Leone. The two
organizations are UNA-SV
and OPAD.
You can check the
Facebook website here.
Please let other innocent
investors know these fraud
organizations which they
announced that they were
supported by Sierra Leone,
United Nations, El Salvador,
and other African countries."
We'll have
more on this - and on UNSG
Guterres' responsibility for
this and other scams.
At the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York,
Inner City Press covered the
first UN bribery case and reported on Garcia's
role pressuring the Central
Bank of the Dominican Republic
to not report and to allow
passage of Lorenzo's bribe
money. In the second case,
Inner City Press reported
daily on the prosecution and
conviction of Patrick Ho of
CEFC China Energy which tried
to buy the oil company of
Gulbenkian Foundation which
paid Guterres money he refused
to disclose, choosing instead
to rough up and ban Inner City
Press.
Now
reporting daily from the SDNY
and the UN
gate, Inner City Press
during the UNGA high week it
is banned from by Guterres is
exclusively reporting a coin
offering "World
United Coins" in South
Korea and elsewhere involving
Carlos Garcia, the UN money
laundering, stating it has the
support of Antonio Guterres
and President of the General
Assembly Tijjani
Muhammad-Bande
who has joined
Guterres in
his
censorship.
See photos here.
The website
says, "The
United Nations
gives the
World Unicom
Certificate a
high degree of
development
recognition,"
with a photo
of Guterres
with all his
undisclosed
Chinese
bribery links.
It says, " The
newly elected
74th President
of the General
Assembly,
Bandy, met
with Charles
LU on the
evening of
September 17th
to
congratulate
the success of
the Global
Exchange on
September 16
and highly
recognized the
World Unicom
Certificate in
the past year.
In the amazing
development
speed and
achievements
in the field
of digital
finance, we
recognize that
WUC has
earnestly
fulfilled its
founding
mission and
made a real
contribution
to improving
the lives of
people in
developing
countries
around the
world."
Garcia's Instagram
account says:
"ambcarlosgarcia
Today we had a
great meeting
in our office.
Our
co-Chairman,
Mr. Charles Lu
comeback from
Beijing, and
we met with
two strategic
representatives
from OPAD, the
Organization
for Poverty
Alleviation
and
Development,
Mr. Peter
Kamara , and
Mr. Al Shek
with a view to
strengthening
our
collaborative
efforts in
promoting the
United Nations
Sustainable
Development
Goals. #OPAD
#UNA-SV
#pastorrodneyhowardbrowne
#ElSalvador
#SierraLeone."
This UNA-SV
group sponsors
the fraudulent
coins.
These
people should
be arrested.
All of them -
to the very
top. A fish
rots from the
head, and
that's corrupt
Guterres, the
censor.
While UN
Secretary General Antonio
Guterres was refusing
throughout 2018 to begin any
UN audit into China Energy
Fund Committee, implicated in
the UN bribery prosecution US
v Patrick Ho, Guterres had a
secret: his role
on the board of Gulbenkian
Foundation which was trying to
sell
its Partex Oil affiliate to
CEFC. See Inner City Press'
first exclusive report here.
A
now-removed
Gulbenkian Foundation web page
says Guterres continued as a
board member into 2018. Archived
here.
In
fact it was on 9 February 2018
that Gulbenian tweeted
that Guterres was no longer on
the board - AFTER it was
reported that Gulbenian was
trying to sell, or even had
already sold, Partex to CEFC.
This is called guilty
knowledge.
While
Guterres' spokesman Stephane
Dujarric is refusing to answer
Inner City Press' written
questions, contrary to
promises by Guterres' Global
Communicator Alison Smale, it
appears Guterres' evasive
defense is claiming that he
left Gulbenkian in November
2016 and therefore somehow had
no conflict of interest in
refusing and blocking the
obviously needed UN audit of
CEFC after the arrest of its
Patrick Ho for UN bribery.
This defense is dubious.
Why did
Gulbenkian take
down its webpage
disclosing that Guterres
remained on board into 2018?
Why - sixteen months after
Guterres ostensibly left - did
they wait until February 2018
to tweet
that he left? Because their
negotiations with CEFC became
public (see 2 February 2018
Bloomberg here,
and 6 February MacauHub here:
"CEFC China Energy buys
Portugal’s Partex Oil &
Gas.")
In any
event, Guterres' "2017"
Financial Disclosure, which
explicitly says it covered the
year 2016 in which even in
this new story he remained on
Gulbenkian's board into
November, more than 80% of the
year - did not disclose his
role in Gulbenkian, only on
the Club of Madrid. Guterres
has had previous financial
disclosure omissions, for
example in Portugal, here.
CEFC was hardly unknown: it
bought a Portuguese insurance
company in November 2017, here.
Guterres' failure to disclose
and, separately and even more
so, his refusal to audit CEFC
in the UN was a direct
conflict of interest, which he
has tried to cover up by
roughing up and banning Inner
City Press which asked him
about it. (See January 2018
press conference here,
July 2018 roughing up by
Guterres' UN Security here,
banning letter via Press
Freedom Tracker here.)
Three times now
Dujarric, his deputy Farhan
Haq and Office of the
Spokesperson colleagues Marcia
Soares Pinto
and Keishamaza
Rukikaire, as
well as
Guterres, his
chief of staff
Maria Luiza
Ribeiro Viotti
and Deputy SG
Amina J.
Mohammed have
refused to
answer this:
"Beyond the 36
questions from
Inner City
Press you
refused to
answer last
week, still
set forth
below for
promised
answer, this
is a
reiterated
request past
deadline that
you (1) state
when SG
Guterres left
his position
on the
Gulbenkian
Foundation,
(2) state why
Gulbenkian was
not listed on
SG Guterres'
public
financial
disclosure
which covered
2016; (3)
explain how it
is not a
conflict of
interest for
SG Guterres to
have refused
to start an
audit of CEFC
in the UN, as
requested by
Inner City
Press in
January 2018,
given CEFC's
bid for the
oil business
of Gulbenkian.
Also, again,
state why
under SG
Guterres there
have been no
updates to the
UN public
financial
disclosures
since those
filed for
2016. Also,
again, explain
your refusal
to answer any
of Inner City
Press'
questions this
week despite
USG Smale's
statements to
GAP, me and UNSR
David Kaye."
No response at
all, even as
spokesman
Dujarric for
example tweets
at actor Seth
Rogin.
Dujarric, as
simply
one example, on 1 March
2018 evaded
Inner City
Press'
in-person
questions
about CEFC and
Guterres, less
than a month
after Gulbenkian said
Guterres was
off the board,
amid oil negotiations
with CEFC. Video
here.
Then
Guterres and
Dujarric had
Inner City
Press roughed
up and banned
from the UN. Guterres'
wife Catarina
Vaz Pinto also
worked for Gulbenkian. This
is today's
corrupt UN.
For
years Guterres received money
as a board member of the
Calouste Galbenkian
Foundation, which despite its
name is the 100% owner of
Partex Oil and Gas. Partex
has operations in Angola, Abu
Dhabi, Brazil, Kazakhstan, the
Netherlands, Oman and
Portugal. It was to a
Portuguese court that
Guterres, while justifying
no listing some of his income,
disclosed in 2016 that he was
paid at least € 2735 per month
for his position with the
Gulbenkian Foundation.
But
while a now deleted Foundation
web page (archived here)
stated that Guterres continued
with Gulbenkian into 2018,
Guterres did not list it on
his most
recent, and so far lone,
UN Public Financial
Disclosure, which covered 2016
("Disclosing financial and
other interests for the 2016
reporting year").
So why did
Guterres disclose his position
with the Club of Madrid, but not
with the Gulbenkian Foundation
/ Partex Oil and Gas? It is
worth noting that Guterres'
wife Catarina Vaz Pinto has
also been connected
to Gulbenkian.
The
questions were also sent to
the e-mail addresses of
Guterres, his chief of staff
Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti,
his Deputy Amina J. Mohammed,
and Smale, who told Inner City
Press she would take “under
advisement” her 17 August 2018
pretextual withdrawal of Inner
City Press decade long UN
media accreditation. Coin scam
questions were also sent to
Smale successor Melissa
Fleming: nothing, complicity.
It seems
clear that Guterres and his
team have engaged in
censorship for corruption, to
conceal a blatant conflict of
interest by Guterres. It has
been raised by Inner City
Press to the UN Office of
Internal Oversight Services,
and others. Watch this
site.
