Benon Sevon, the man in charge of the oil-for-food program, bought oil for way below market price and reaped a great profit. His name is on a list of 270 such "businessmen" who were corruptly profiting. Additionally, Sevon was an undercover agent for France (no big splash about the UN being infiltrated by the French intelligence it seems).
The troubles go farther. "Iraq, with U.N. approval, kept Americans, Britons and Scandinavians off the staff that administered the 13 percent of the oil-for-food proceeds earmarked for Kurdish provinces." Why do people criticise the US for not allowing these blood countries to gain contracts after essentially enslaving Iraqis?
Perhaps we should look further. The UN was filled with capacity with spies. A Tunisian U.N. employee with a car full of explosives meant for a terror bombing in Erbil was arrested in July of 2001. 4 months later the UN was able to quietly negotiate his release.
