According to documents recovered by American soldiers from government buildings in Baghdad, the “Oil-For-Food” scandal has erupted: UN employees enriched themselves by doing business with Saddam Hussein by allowing him to sell oil during the UN embargo. The director of the Oil-For-Food program alone, Cypriot Benon Sevan, personally traded $9.3 billion in crude oil, pocketing $1.2 million. Kojo Annan, the son of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, was also implicated.
