UN GATE,
Oct 20 – How corrupt is the UN
system under Antonio Guterres?
Today we turn yet again to
UNIDO:
"Dear Matthew
Lee, We are writing to
urgently bring to your
attention serious concerns
regarding the mismanagement
and potential misappropriation
of European Union funds
allocated to the United
Nations Industrial Development
Organization (UNIDO).
Our efforts reporting Ygor
Scarcia internally to UNIDO
Human Resources and the
Internal Oversight Directorate
have gone in vain. So more
from these whistleblowers,
unresponded to:
"Ygor Scarcia is
at the epicenter of an
explosive and far-reaching UN
corruption scandal. Scarcia is
involved in a covert campaign
to silence an ex-Somali
political stakeholder — an
insider from Mogadishu who has
contacts with whistleblowers
across Germany and Italy. This
ex- insider, was a figure in
the Somali political circles,
after severing ties with
Scarcia’s UNIDO procurement
operations was blackmailed by
Scarcia and his associates in
Mogadishu.
The whistleblower
mysteriously vanished without
trace, the whistleblowers say,
in possession of a trove of
materials, including documents
and photographs incriminating
Scarcia in a web of
corruption, bribery, and
illicit dealings in Somalia.
The cache of materials is said
to include photographic
documentation of Scarcia’s
clandestine meetings with
individuals linked to entities
under U.S. sanctions, further
amplifying the gravity of
these allegations. One of the
investigated UNIDO procurement
operations is AME Solution
contracts, a shadowy
enterprise allegedly co-owned
by Scarcia through intricate
network of intermediaries in
Somalia. Despite ongoing
investigation into the
company, UNIDO’s procurement
personnel continued to award
contracts to AME Solution in
Somalia, engendering
misgivings regarding
institutional complicity and
egregious dereliction of duty.
The news of
vanished Somali whistleblower
sent tremors through
Vienna-based UN organizations,
with a major cohort citing a
loss of confidence in UNIDO’s
oversight and human resources
directorates. Scarcia who has
connections with Somali
military elements, instructed
his military operatives to
eliminate any remaining
insiders and suppress
persistent leaks from
Mogadishu.
Fearing reprisals
from a senior German official
inferred as D2, an employee
hesitated to disclose
specifics. We deduce the
referenced senior official D2
is Managing Director Gunther
Beger."
We aim to have
more on this, since UN
Spokespeople while taking
public funds refuse to answer
Inner City Press' written
questions.
Keep it coming.
Though Inner City Press
remains banned
by Guterres and no response by
his Melissa Fleming to this,
we continue reporting - keep
it coming. And watch this
site.
