Crony Guterres With Gulbenian

UN GATE, Feb 3 –
The head the UN International
Organization on Migration
António
Vitorino, a
crony of UNSG
Antonio
Guterres, has
been exposed
for
corruption.
Vitorino took
325,200
euros
from the former Spanish
ambassador to Venezuela Raúl
Morodo and his son Alejo,
after charging 4.4 million
euros from the state oil
company PDVSA.
"In its
reports addressed to Judge
Santiago Pedraz , the UDEF
points out that these payments
could be due to the fact that
both the Morodo and the
Vitorino socialist mediated to
close a business agreement,
for which the Portuguese firm
Galp promised to build four
wind farms in Venezuela and
Buy crude oil from
PDVSA. Vitorino was vice
president and defense minister
in the Government of António
Guterres, when he was forced
to resign after being accused
of tax fraud. An accusation
that later was not
proven. In fact, Alejo
Morodo also received through
his societies (between 2008
and 2013) several payments
of the Portuguese Galp."
Guterres
himself has concealed his
links to oil company Partez
when UN briber CEFC China
Energy was trying to buy it
from Gulbenkian which paid
Guterres money in 2016 which
he omitted from his "public
financial disclosure" covering
2016 - then had roughed up and
banned, now 579 days, Inner
City Press who asked him about
it. He is corrupt.
Previously, soon before
Guterres had Inner City Press
targeted and roughed up by UN
Lt Ronald E. Dobbins and
banned since, a
candidate for IOM on May 4,
2018 was given a closed door
platform in the UN,
specifically in UNCA, the UN
Correspondents Association
a/k/a the UN
Censorship Alliance. It
came after widespread
criticism of now-private
Tweets. In the UNCA club, a
repeat questioner said, let's
leave the past behind. Isaacs
himself said, I won't answer
anymore on that. Not a single
questioner mentioned the other
two candidates, nor why they'd
taken Isaacs behind closed
doors rather than in the UN
Press Briefing Room or even
the UN Security Council
stakeout. Isaacs, perhaps
misled, said in his press
release that the May 4 session
was for UNCA members. But this
UNCA group has moved to evict
investigative Press from the
UN; its long time president
rented one of his Manhattan
apartments to Sri
Lanka war criminal and
then said if an article about
it wasn't removed from the
Internet its author would be
thrown out of the UN (and
was).
Inner City Press,
which quit UNCA after that,
waiting in the hall and asked
Isaac if he'll debate his
opponents, Laura Thompson who
is already deputy at IOM, and
Antonio Vitorino, an ally of
UNSG Guterres who is linked to
tax evasion. Isaacs replied
that on May 17 there would be
a forum. Now this. Watch this
site.
