	Judgment 2102 - ILO Administrative Tribunal
		IFAD held an internal investigation which, it says, revealed that three external consultants hired by the complainant made over to him sums of money which were then transferred to personal bank accounts under his and his wife's names in Jersey and Guernsey (United Kingdom).
		The reason why IFAD filed a civil suit in England to obtain restitution of monies was that civil action was precluded in Italy by the complainant's acceptance of the reduced sentence which put an end to the proceedings there.
		IFAD does not have immunity from the execution of judgments in England, so there is no substance to the complainant's argument that he fell foul of an international organisation, which is "untouchable".
