In Corrupt UN of Guterres Scarcia of UNIDO Named for Somali Fraud and now Tattoo

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

UN GATE, Oct 24 – How corrupt is the UN system under Antonio Guterres? Today we turn 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:

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Ygor Scarcia, a UNIDO official, is accused by staff of devising an elaborate scheme to siphon off $1.6 million in UNIDO funds entrusted by the European Union.  Scarcia earns approximately $20,000 monthly at UNIDO, but reportedly misappropriates $6,000 from European funds each month by submitting false invoices for a hotel in Mogadishu that he rarely uses, bribing hotel staff $1,000 to cook the records. And now this, added without comment:

"This follows up. I personally saw this fascist tattoo on Scarcia... he struts around with impunity, shielded by senior managers. Today we deliver darkest report on UNIDO. Scarcia has Decima Flottiglia MAS—a.k.a. X MAS— tattooed on his arm. We have received firsthand accounts from numerous UN staff in Somalia and Europe offices who reported having seen this tattoo on Scarcia's arm. By the time this report reaches the public, Scarcia may attempt to laser-remove his tattoo, but the scars will remain

not only in UNIDO, on Scarcia, but throughout the UN system, UNCTAD to ITU to South Sudan, Guterres has presided over corruption and censored to try to conceal it.

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.
