The son of U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has been targeted by a federal criminal probe into corruption of the scandal-scarred Iraq oil-for-food program, sources said.
Top U.N. officials said 30-year-old Kojo Annan is among a handful of individuals and companies whose business dealings with the gigantic U.N. humanitarian aid program are now facing the white-hot scrutiny of a federal grand jury in Manhattan.
It was not clear exactly why Kojo Annan is being eyed in the probe, which involves an $11 billion scheme involving alleged kickbacks and illegal oil smuggling orchestrated by deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
But the sources told The Post that Annan's business activities also are being probed by an independent commission headed by former Federal Reserve Board chief Paul Volcker.
That panel was set up by the elder Annan to look into allegations of widespread financial abuse by U.N. officials and contractors of the $64 billion oil-for-food program.
The Justice Department has refused to comment on the investigation.

The whole UN is corrupt and Annan and his son are the lowest of low along with Russia, France, and China. |
