A report from the American corporate media outlet ABC shows that “Foreign diplomats appear to be racking up parking tickets in New York City to the sum of $16 million in unpaid fines.”
The report said that Morocco alone racked up more than $500,000 of unpaid parking tickets in New York city.
Egypt had the lion’s share of the number as it “owes nearly $2 million in outstanding parking fees,” the report said.
“Five countries owe more than $500,000 each, including Nigeria, Indonesia, Brazil, Morocco and Pakistan,” the report added.
The report said that the list includes more than 180 countries.
“Egypt’s U.N. mission spokesman told the Wall Street Journal that he didn’t have details about the issue. Officials for Indonesia, Morocco and Pakistan declined to comment. A spokesman for Brazil says it asked the city for more information. A message left at Nigeria’s U.N. mission wasn’t returned,” the report closed
The Moroccan Times.
