ONE of the key questions being asked of Benon Sevan, the head of the UN’s oil-for- food programme, is how he came to be in possession of £85,000 which he claimed was given to him by an elderly aunt.
The report questioned this "unexplained wealth", noting that his aunt, Berdjouhi Zeitountsian, was a retired Cyprus government photographer living on a modest pension.
Ms Zeitountsian died last June after falling into the lift shaft at her home, but relatives say they find the story convincing.
They say that Mr Sevan, who is the illegitimate son of one of Ms Zeitountsian’s sisters, was cared for by her "like a son".
Later, she would visit him in New York every two or three months.
Friends and relatives agreed Ms Zeitountsian did not give the impression of being rich. But they said it would not be surprising if she had accumulated the sum mentioned in the inquiry as, by Cyprus standards, it was a relatively modest amount.
"People in Cyprus will laugh at this amount being the focus of an investigation," one relative said. "If they want to find something, they won't find it in Cyprus."
His aunt's real name is Saddam Husein.

Oil For Food--Auntie Saddam has been very kind to Sevan!
Auntie did fall down an elevator shaft. Maybe she was pushed by cousin Uday.

Wow.....I thought Clancey and Ludlum wrote really good novels. This scenario would make a blockbuster movie.

"Sole-24 Hours" and the "Financial Times" have ascertained that only the its remained tight relative to Cyprus was Berjouhi Zeytountsian, the maternal aunt who has raised it after the dead women of its parents but that, to said of a family friend, lived from years of a simple pension be them and "she did not have the possibility to make gifts in money".
23 March 2004, four days after the announcement of the creation of the investigating committee from part of the general secretary of the UN Kofi Annan, ottantaquattrenne mrs. Zeytountsian is victim of an improbable incident: it falls in the bugle of the elevator after that the door is opened on the empty one. The mrs. blinks the head and comes ricoverata in hospital in state of coma. The police cipriota concludes that draft of an incident, without being able to speak with the victim, dead woman two months and means after the fall without never to exit from the coma.
The spelling "Zeitountsian" does not seach out, therefore, must use "Zeytountsian".
That bastard...
This is too creepy! Thanks for the info.
