Food for Oil Scandal

:

The UN released the fifth and final report in an investigation of a scandal resulting in the UN and Iraq’s food-for-oil scheme. The document described how more than 2,400 businesses (many of them French and Russian) from over sixty countries paid nearly $1.8 billion in illegally kickbacks to the Hussein regime through the plan. The scandal has been a huge embarrassment to Secretary General Kofi Annan, whose son played a role in the kickbacks.
