    Information/translation.. 
    An investigative report by OCRB, which specializes in organized crime and corruption, revealed on Thursday that Baghdad airport employees expressed their concerns about foreign security companies operating at the airport, especially since airport security is supervised by the semi-fictitious Canadian company Business Intel, which has controlled airport security since October 2017. 2022. 
    The report, translated by the “Al-Ma’louma” Agency, stated that “a number of foreign employees working in the company have not received their salaries for several months, while Innocent Odar, a 37-year-old Ugandan security contractor and dog expert, said that he was expelled from Iraq in late last September.” After he and five of his colleagues wrote a letter to the police complaining about their working conditions and trying to tell them that the country's largest airport was at risk. 
    He added, "The employees said that they had not received their salaries since last May from the Canadian company. The journalists supported their testimonies using documents from the company provided by current and former employees, including a leaked spreadsheet of employee salaries, payrolls, employment contracts, and letters that the company requested from employees." Sign it to waive their demands for the due salary.” 
    Odara considered that "non-payment of salaries is a security breach. They have become weak and frustrated and unable to concentrate on work. This also makes them vulnerable to bribery, theft, and the entry of prohibited materials in exchange for sums of money." 
    For his part, Andy Higgins, a British aviation specialist who worked at the Canadian company Business Intel for more than six months, said, “Failure to pay could jeopardize airport security,” adding, “Once you stop paying your employees’ wages, they become vulnerable to bribery and coercion. It’s simple.” "Extremely, these are direct threats to aviation." 
    The report explained that "the Canadian company Business Intel, which handles Baghdad airport security, is registered in Ontario, Canada, where third-party websites list it as a tourism company or an electronics company. The CEO of the company is Hafeez Oki, an Afghan-Canadian businessman whose previous work included... Selling bedding to hotels and managing an orthopedic non-governmental organization that manufactured prosthetic limbs in Kandahar in the 1990s means that the company’s jurisdiction is not essentially security-related.” 
    He continued, "Member of Parliament, Alia Nassif, pointed out problems related to the way the contract was awarded, and asked the Iraqi Integrity Commission to investigate the Business Intel contract, saying that the company did not provide accreditation for its capital assets, experience, or previous security work, and that it had only two employees." ".
    The report noted that "the company claimed to have experience around the world, and that it 'played a major role in the security' of four airports in Afghanistan, but four employees, including three Afghans, from the Canadian company said they had never heard of the company in their country." 
    A number of current and former employees said that when they first arrived in Baghdad, the only employees they met were Oki, his university-age son, and Firas Hashim Al-Azzawi, the branch manager in Baghdad. The document, which Higgins said was presented to the Iraqi Prime Minister, shed light on On the CVs of 10 security professionals, who allegedly made up the “management team” of Business Intel, journalists also found contact details for five of the people on the list, but the people reached did not want to comment out of fear for themselves.
    The report concluded by saying that "the Iraqi Prime Minister's Office did not respond to requests for comment, and the Iraqi Ministry of Transport declined to comment, saying that airport security is responsible for managing international civil aviation." Ended/25 D
