UN GATE Exclusive, Nov 15 – The mild-manner bespectacled man whose eyes appear big behind his spectacles when he professes surprise, Xavier Michon, UNCDF’s Deputy Executive Secretary, is UNDP’s spy at UNCDF.

   The complete double-faced behavior which Mr. Michon has truly mastered has led to his success in betraying his team-mates at UNCDF, multiple whistleblowers tell Inner City Press.

  On November 15, after publishing on November 13, Inner City Press asked UNSG Antonio Guterres and his spokespeople Stephane Dujarric, Farhan Haq and Melissa Fleming about Michon - and Gindin Nothing, no answer at all - corruption.

Now, a second report: "Was it love, money or pension protection?      As women staff at the UN we saw the note in Inner City Press on Xavier Michon’s partnership with his Executive Associate, Marianna Gindin. We work in operations at the UN.   

  We have uncovered the following facts:   Marianna Gindin, now holding a Canadian passport, is of white Eastern European origins. A divorcee, living with her partner near the UN, she reconnected with her ex-husband a Middle East consultant, whom she had known previously at UNDP.   

   Ms. Gindin made a plan to boost her income. She brought her ex-husband into the UN as a consultant for the Middle East, pretending that she did not know him. She convinced Xavier Michon with whom she has had a long association, and together they have planned several conspiracies in the past to entrap and accuse the innocent, hard-working staff of the UN.

Xavier Michon signed off on the expensive consulting contract. Marianna used all kinds of false statements to pressure operations staff to process the contract. The financial terms of the contract were favorable. No one else knew about any of these details at that time.    

  Marianna moved in to live with the consultant in an apartment on the Upper West Side near an ageing relative. There was a common bank account into which the monies of the consulting contract were deposited from which Ms. Gindin withdrew funds. Michon again signed the contract extension for the  consultant.  

   Ms. Gindin is another one of the long-time UN employees on the ‘pension track’ awaiting for her full pension and healthcare benefits in about 5 years. She will take the earliest retirement opportunity on full pension -- the UN has an ‘environment’ and she needs to get away. She spends her days mostly working remotely and painting. All under the permission of her supervisor, Xavier Michon.  

    In June 2022, there was a fall-out of this triangle. Michon accused the Middle East consultant of somethings, the consultant retorted back. Threats went back and forth. The contract was closed ASAP. 

  In October, Xavier Michon was to travel to an operations retreat to Kigali for a week. In the end, he could not travel. On the eve of her travel, Gindin cancelled her mission.     Xavier Michon treats women in the UN with disdain often ordering us around with an air of superiority. He tries to dominate us with his superior French white man attitude.          ---- Women at UN Whistleblowers." Watch this site.

UNDP Whistleblower, to banned Inner City Press: "Xavier Michon has an inappropriate illicit personal relationship involving love and money with his Executive Associate, Marianna Gindin."
