OAS boss vows to cooperate in ethics probe of romance claim

Associated Press  

MIAMI — The head of the Organization of American States says he won’t interfere in an internal ethics probe into claims he had a romance with a staffer, and he insists he took no action to favor the younger woman allegedly involved. But he said he would answer any of the OAS inspector general’s inquiries and was confident he would be absolved of any wrongdoing because he never favored the unnamed staffer in any employment decisions. Almagro, 59, denied he was ever the woman’s supervisor and the OAS press office said that since 2019 she has worked in the organization’s Secretariat for Strengthening Democracy. However, in several online bios as well as in photos with Almagro as recently as March, some of them posted to OAS social media accounts, the woman is described as an “adviser” or sometimes “head adviser” to the secretary general.
