UN protects Balkan Sex Industry. (Insider Report).Ben Johnston, a former employee of DynCorp (a Virginia-based defense contractor), was fired from his aircraft maintenance job in Kosovo after filing complaints against what he described as the "perverse, illegal and inhumane behavior" of the firm's employees. A Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO RICO n. . ) lawsuit filed on behalf of Johnston alleges that DynCorp employees working as part of the ongoing UN-commanded occupation of Bosnia and Kosovo have purchased "illegal weapons, women, forged passports and [participated in] other immoral acts. Johnston witnessed coworkers and supervisors literally buying and selling women for their own personal enjoyment, and employees would brag about the various ages and talents of the individual slaves they had purchased." Some of the "sex slaves" were allegedly as young as 12 years old. "Rather than acknowledge and reward Johnston's effort to get this behavior stopped, DynCorp fired him, forcing him into protective custody An arrangement whereby a person is safeguarded by law enforcement authorities in a location other than the person's home because his or her safety is seriously threatened. by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID Cid or Cid Campeador (sĭd, Span. thēth kämpāäthōr`) [Span.,=lord conqueror], d. 1099, Spanish soldier and national hero, whose real name was Rodrigo (or Ruy) Díaz de Vivar. ), until the investigators could get him safely out of Kosovo and returned to the United States," reports the February 4th issue of Insight magazine. According to Johnston, DynCorp is "as immoral and elite as possible, and any rule they can break they do." But the vices described by Johnston have flourished amid the UN-supported culture of corruption "Culture of corruption" is a political slogan used by the United States Democratic Party to refer to a series of political scandals affecting the Republican Party during George W.
