RE: The Hershey's Trust - Charity, Corruption and Child Abuse

in #corruption7 years ago

Interesting read and it's surprising that you posted this today. There has been a really big scandal going on in Belgium involving multiple charities that used charity funding to pay for (underage) sex workers. In some cases food or other aid was even exchanged for sex by these so called charity workers.

I'm not even talking about small charities, Oxfam was one one of the most prominent ones featured in the investigation.

Sort:  

yeah, this is turning into a bigger scandal all the time. Do you have a link to the Belgium article? I'd be really interested in reading it. Or if you know the names of some of the other charities.
Thanks for your comment, very interesting.

Yeah for sure, I have an English source for the one mentioning Oxfam. The guy that was accused (Roland Van Hauwermeiren) is a Belgian. All other sources are in Dutch, this Reuters report is the best I could find in English
