World Vision accused of corruption and nepotism
One of Australia’s biggest charities, World Vision, is implicated in a multimillion-dollar corruption scandal that involves AFL stars, a free Bali holiday, nepotism and suspected kickbacks in return for lucrative printing contracts.
Leaked invoices and emails suggest that donations from Australians to the humanitarian behemoth — famous for its child sponsorship campaign and celebrity endorsements — have helped pay for contracts to a printing group which then made secret payments to the father of a World Vision executive.
An investigation by The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald reveals World Vision executive Zane Kuramoto — the suspended staff member — recommended that the charity engage his father, Glenn, in 2013 as an adviser to oversee the $2.5 million printing and marketing contracts the charity relies on to do mass mail-outs and promotions to donors.
