Holes in the security belts of Baghdad Airport.. It is protected by a Canadian company headed by a sheet seller News news coverage

Ugandan security contractor Innocent Odar, 37, an expert in training police dogs, says he was expelled from Iraq in late September after he and five colleagues complained to police about their working conditions and tried to tell them that the largest airport in the Mesopotamian capital was in danger.

Last year, Iraq contracted with the Canadian company “Business Intel”, which brought Awdar to Iraq to secure Baghdad International Airport, which handles about two million passengers annually.

Since then – as Odar and more than 10 former and current employees said – the company has not paid employee salaries, that is, for at least 5 months.

Journalists working with the Organized Crime and Transnational Corruption Reporting Project, known as OCCR, compared the employees’ allegations with documents leaked to them by former and current employees, which included employee payrolls, pay notices, and workers’ contracts, in addition to papers the company asked its employees to sign. To waive their right to claim their unpaid salaries.

The Transnational Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCRP) has agreed not to reveal the names of employees who are in Iraq or who fear the company’s reaction in order to protect them.

The employees said in their letter to the Iraqi police – which was sent on September 11 – that “non-payment of employees’ salaries is a security breach,” adding, “We have become weak and frustrated.”
