Indian Army has a Wing called MES - called by regulars as Money Earning Service - they plant tree guards, string electric lines , paint the tree stumps etc etc -- and get lots of bribes from suppliers, by auto arts for trcuks, army cars and jeeps etc. Actually called Military Engineering Services.
Here the UN counterpart seems to be the Procurement Section and some excell in Money Earning there too - http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Former-UN-official-from-India-gets-8-years-in-jail/291584/
New York, April 2: A former United Nations procurement official from India convicted of accepting bribes including two steeply discounted luxury Manhattan apartments has been sentenced to eight years and a month in prison. A judge in New York sentenced 57-year-old Sanjaya Bahel on Tuesday after a jury found he had helped a friend win USD100 million in UN contracts.
Bahel was chief of the UNs Commodity Procurement Section from 1999 to 2003.
He has apologised and says he feels true remorse. He says hes lost everything and suffered public humiliation.
Bahel was convicted of bribery, wire fraud and mail fraud last June.
