Another UN Scandal… Visas-For-Sale Scheme

By: Pam On: Aug/6/07 - 26 Comments

Michelle talked about it briefly last week, but has much more about a corruptocrat at the U.N.

U.S. authorities arrested a U.N. translator on suspicion of visa fraud on Monday, accusing him of using U.N. letterhead to bring foreigners into the United States for non-existent conferences.

Vyacheslav Manokhin, a Russian translator of documents at the New York headquarters, was arrested on Monday along with Vladimir Derevianko, who is accused of scheming with Manokhin to prepare false documents submitted to U.S. immigration officials, federal prosecutors said.

A third man, Kamiljan Tursunov, is accused of paying $15,000 for a fraudulent visa. He also faces conspiracy and fraud charges, the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan said in a statement.

Tursunov already had been in custody for failing to appear at an immigration proceeding.

Manokhin used his position at the United Nations to make it appear as though the world body supported visa applications for certain foreigners so they could attend U.N. meetings in New York. But the meetings either did not exist or those invited had no intention attending, the statement said.
