The UN investigation found some:
The United Nations suffered grave damage to its international reputation yesterday after it emerged that the official who headed the oil-for-food programme for Iraq sought and obtained bribes from Saddam Hussein's regime.
In a highly critical report, Benon Sevan was rebuked for actions which were "ethically improper and seriously undermined the integrity of the UN".
"This is a painful episode for everyone in the UN," said the head of the investigation, former US Federal Reserve chief Paul Volcker.
He went on to accuse Mr Sevan of offering to use his influence at the UN in return for the granting of vouchers to purchase Iraqi oil at favourable prices on behalf of a small Panamanian-registered firm. "Mr Sevan created a grave and continuing conflict of interest," he said.

during the oil-for-food programme. Within this:
$9.7bn from oil smuggling$4.4bn in kickbacks from contracts for humanitarian goods
$2.1bn from substituting low-quality goods for high-quality ones
$403m from overseas investment of illicitly earned funds
$241m from surcharges on oil saleshttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4015907.stmNote that even inside the oil-for-food program, the biggest problem wasn't the surcharges for oil sales, which is what the officials are accused of benefiting from - it was kickbacks in the 'food' side.
