Erinys International
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Erinys International is a British security company founded in 2001.[1] From 2003 to 2005, it had an $80 million contract with the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, guarding installations in Iraq against attack as part of Operation Task Force Shield. In 2004, the company was responsible for an Iraqi security force of 14,000 personnel.[2]
Former staff include Alastair Morrison, a former SAS officer who also founded Defence Systems Limited in 1991. Morrison left Erinsys in March 2004 to join Kroll Inc., the U.S. security company.
It was reported in November 2006 that traces of Polonium 210 were detected at Erinys's Grosvenor Street premises in London, following the death by poisoning of former KGB officer, Alexander Litvinenko.[3]
