In Corrupt Guterres UN World 2d ITU Complaint Published by Banned Inner City Press

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

UN GATE, Nov 6 – How corrupt is the UN-world system under Antonio Guterres, who bans the Press which investigates? This example is from ITU, International Telecommunication Union, whose whistleblowers have, like others, reached out to banned Inner City Press:

Dear Mr. Lee,  A new complaint about ITU has been sent to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and senior officials, implicating top ITU leadership, including ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin, the Chair of the ITU Council, and the Chair of its Independent Management Advisory Committee, in serious allegations of fraud and abuse of public funds.

Fraudulent Practice Involving Canvass and Mr. Harjit Singh 

Entities Involved: Canvass, owned by Mr. Harjit Singh, secured multiple procurement contracts (SSA) with ITU in 2024 for providing legal services or opinions. However, Mr. Singh is not a qualified lawyer, and Canvass lacks proper registration or authorization to deliver such legal services. 

Company Registration Details: Canvass is registered in Belgium under activity codes 70.220 (business and management consultancy) and 74.909 (professional, scientific, and technical activities). These codes do not cover legal services, which fall under activity codes 69.1 and beyond. Consequently, Canvass’s provision of legal services is unauthorized or illegal, since and/or if the company provided relevant services without being registered for the NACEBEL codes required in Belgium.  3)      Fraudulent Misrepresentation: Canvass and Mr. Singh misrepresented their qualifications by entering the SSA contracts with ITU. This misrepresentation has led to the unauthorized payment of thousands of CHF for services rendered without legal authority. Furthermore, their failure to disclose the lack of registration constitutes a severe omission, violating ITU’s anti-fraud policies.

More coming.

After repeated refusal to respond by spokespeople including Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming, here was the first complaint on Inner City Press' DocumentCloud here.
