The U.N.'s top official in the Congo, Alan Doss abused his influence in the organisation to secure a job for his daughter at UNDP, according to the still confidential preliminary findings of an internal investigation.
The U.N. Office of Internal Oversight reached the determination six months after revelations surfaced that Doss wrote an email to a senior colleague pressing the case for his daughter, Rebecca Doss. The U.N. was accused of practicing nepotism by a disgruntled U.N. contract employee, who had hoped to get the job. He bit a U.N. security officer during a scuffle after learning he was being passed over for the job, because of Doss's intervention. The employee, Nicola Baroncini of Italy, was charged at the time with assault, but claimed he was beaten by U.N. security.
