UN Colombia Mission Sex Scandals Link China  Guterres SRSG Ruiz Series on Inner City Press

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

UN GATE, Dec 3 – How corrupt is today's UN under Antonio Guterres? Today's follow up, with leak, is yet one more time on his mission in Colombia, about which his spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming refuse all Press questions. Inner City Press has asked them, and others, about the newest sex abuse case against the UN there. Now this sent to Inner City Press:

Dear Matthew Russell Lee,

Corruption at UNVMC continues to claim victims. The latest casualty is a national staff member who resigned to protect their mental health, which had been severely damaged by the harassment and discrimination pervasive within the mission.   

  This resignation is yet another example of the collateral damage caused by the mafia-like culture at UNVMC. After reporting an attempt to involve them in a scheme to undermine the Chief of Supply Chain and Service Delivery, back in 2022, the staff member faced relentless harassment from Federico Ledesma, who made it clear that reporting the misconduct of international staff would not be tolerated. 

  The confidential document you received sheds light on the very well known meetings between Brusola, Josefa, Thair, and Muñoz—three of whom have already been exposed by Inner City Press for various allegations. Meanwhile, it’s telling that FSU made the effort to fly to UNVMC to address their complaints and involve OIOS to investigate them, yet both conveniently ignored reports against Thair and Muñoz for fraud, harassment, and sexual harassment.

   To make matters worse, Brusola, with the help of her ally Loreto Ferrer, appears to control access to the SRSG, deciding who gets to meet with him to raise complaints and who does not. Ferrer further manipulates the system by selectively deleting or forwarding SRSG emails to serve the interests of her inner circle. This level of corruption and abuse of power has been going on long enough.

We'll have more on all this. No answer from UN Spox Dujarric on this, or nomination of Elise Stefanik. Keep the info coming.
