UN Colombia Mission Sex Scandals Link China  Guterres SRSG Ruiz now Mr Happy Ice Cream

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

UN GATE, Nov 24 – How corrupt is today's UN under Antonio Guterres? Today's follow up is yet once again 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, from a UN whistleblower sent to Inner City Press:

Dear Matthew Russell Lee,

Dear Matthew,   An investigation into Jaime Muñoz is supposed to have been authorized, despite Federico Ledesma’s persistent attempts to cover it up. It’s worth noting that Muñoz currently has five open cases against him for harassment and abuse of staff. True to form, he is now desperately seeking ways to retaliate against those who have come forward, with the full support of Ledesma and Brusola. These three wield an alarming amount of power, which they have used to manipulate and harm staff in ways that are both unimaginable and unacceptable.

    It has been suggested that Muñoz, in an effort to evade accountability, is considering applying for early retirement—a strategy that has already been publicly discussed through Inner City Press. It is no surprise that this move aligns with his pattern of avoiding consequences for his actions.    Muñoz has still managed to influence a few that, like him, believe that staff are not people rather machines to exploit.

One of the team members, Mr. Padilla, seems to have adopted Muñoz’s toxic leadership style and now faces three active investigations for harassment. Meanwhile, Ms. Aragon has taken a quieter but equally problematic route. She has leveraged her position to bring on a man who is not only her family member but also a business associate. Together, they run an ice cream company called Mr. Happy


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