    After Ng Bribery Conviction, ICP Asks UN About Global Compact, Meena Sur Email, More By Matthew Russell Lee, Video and audio UNITED NATIONS, August 17 – Three weeks after the UN bribery verdict of six guilty counts against Ng Lap Seng was delivered by the jury on July 27, on August 16 Inner City Press asked UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres for his response to the verdict. He scoffed and walked off. Video here. On August 17 Inner City Press asked Guterres' deputy spokesman Farhan Haq about trial exhibits it has begun to receive. Video here; from the UN transcript: Inner City Press: now that the Ng Lap Seng verdict has been rendered, Inner City Press has been obtaining the exhibits. And I wanted to ask you, because, even going back and looking at the audit, several things were not solved. Number one, there’s now specific emails involving current DGACM (Department of General Assembly and Conference Management) employee Meena Sur to Francis Lorenzo regarding the insertion of the name Sun Kiang Ip Group into a GA (General Assembly) document, that’s referenced in the audit. Many people say Mr. [Ion] Botnaru retired. That’s why nothing was ever done. I guess what I want to know is, what’s been done? Is there some explanation, again, of a current UN official having worked on the insertion of this company name into a GA document improperly? Deputy Spokesman: Regarding the general issue, without getting into the cases of specific individuals, the fact is the Department of Management has followed up on the various conclusions brought in by these reports and has made sure that all actions are properly undertaken. Inner City Press: There’s another email, which is the Global Compact responded to Francis Lorenzo actually but about Sun Kiang Ip Group joining the Global Compact. And it said, “We’ll get back to you after review of one or two weeks.” So, I wanted to know, in terms of the Global Compact, given that Sun Kiang Ip Group is involved in casinos and other businesses, what review on the front end… I know it’s often said, once you join the Global Compact, the only thing that’s required is the filing of reports, not anything substantive. But what review is done if, in fact, a casino business itself already involves controversy at the time can join? Deputy Spokesman: Well, I believe the Global Compact on its own website tells you exactly what its priorities are and what it asks of incoming members, so I would just refer you to that. Inner City Press: So how do they join? Deputy Spokesman: No, just look at the website. It shows you what it expects from incoming members. Have a good afternoon, everyone. On October 7 Judge Vernon S. Broderick allowed Ng to remain under house arrest, at least pending sentencing. Ng's $4 million 47th Street apartment, across the street from what was the office of his South South News, was called "not large" despite its 3,100 square feet. On August 7, he was allowed to remain out of jail.
