How well do you know your security guards? Could they be corrupted by criminals to work against you? With security guards amongst the lowest paid workers in the world, this is a reality. In some countries contract security guards received just $25 a month, while prices of many staple foods have doubled. In South Asia over 3/4 of this sum could be taken up by food alone, leaviong little for rent, medicine, education etc. When then put in charge of assets worth hundreds of thousands of dollars they become easy prey for organised criminals.
In the Philippines this week robbers executed nine employees of a bank south of Manila and emptied its vault. Police suspect two security guards, who have since gone missing, as having colluded with the robbers.
