CAIMED - Millions of dollars sinked into the sea of Naples on fake project/activities

the name is Center for Administrative Innovation in the Euro-Mediterranean Region, location is Naples or Napoli the "garbage" and "gomorra" capital of Italy.

It's aim was noble to create: 

An open space for the exchange of information and knowledge on innovation in public administration in the Euro-Mediterranean Region. Jointly managed by UNDESA (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs) and Formez (Training and Study Centre), Caimed is an On-Line Regional Centre of the United Nations Global Network on Public Administration (UNPAN)

but so far except a couple of failed regional meetings and round tables, the multi-million Euro project ended without any tangible results.

Instead the only substantive result was to spend 87% of its budgets into fake Project Officers , Support Administrative Staff and Consultants - whom actually never worked a single day at the Naples Center. The Chief Technical Advisor of the Project instead of being located in Naples/Italy as per the agreed MoU with Italian Government ended up seating next door to Guido Bertucci in New York, thousands of miles away and managed to visit the project only twice during its 5 years life span. 

Most importantly in a latest review has become clear that Bertucci, De-Tomassi and Oveissi awarded the MoU to Formez (the Italian Counterpart NGO) without any international bid nor competitive process. 

Millions of dollars were let go without any final evaluation nor a final-exit report. Hundreds of thousand of dollars spent in Project Assets were "disposed" without any care resulting in almost a quarter of million dollars in "write-off".

CENTER'S STAFF 

(Including a totally illegal and non-existent Catherine Gazzoli,) 

All files of Catherine Gazzoli - the 483,000$ DPADM consultant - disappear from TCMS

Ms. Catherine Gazzoli's personnel file - - daughter of Frederick Gazzoli current head of Investigations and Inspections at WFP in Rome, as well as god-father to one of Guido Bertucci's daughters - - can't be located anymore inside TCMS.

But who is Catherine Gazzoli? Here is a snapshot from her Education file as it appears in her own CV-Webpage. (click on the pic to enlarge or here to see her webpage)

As per her CV in 1995 Ms. Gazzoli was in High School. It should have been quite a High School, because immediately after that, in late 1998-99 she started to be a top web-designer for UN-DESA and DPADM throughout the world. By 2003 Ms. Gazzoli's contracts reached an astonishing half a million dollars ($500,000)for designing web-pages and maintaining websites for DPADM. She never reported to work at DPADM nor around the world as claimed by her contracts.

Now her entire personnel file at TCMS has disappeared and cannot be located to substantiate amounts paid to Ms. Gazzoli. (click here for a previous story on Ms Gazzoli on FOXNEWS)

Let's not forget, she is the daughter of one of the most powerful man of OIOS Investigative and Audit Divisions, Mr. Frederick Gazzoli, who has a very long career throughout the United Nations "fighting corruption".
