An airport security firm is to lose its contract serving Mozambique’s airports after its staff were caught on camera rifling through passengers’ bags.
Footage filmed on a smartphone shows two workers looking through luggage about to board a plane from the capital, Maputo, to the central city of Chimoio.
They were employed by private security firm Macro Seguranca which moves luggage from passenger check-in to the aeroplanes.
The pair seemed relaxed, as if this was far from the first time they had tampered with passengers’ belongings.
Macro Seguranca had been subcontracted by another company called MHS, whose boss said he was “shocked” by the “vandalism”, adding:
“We are cancelling the contract and within 90 days we must hire another company to do this work. We also demand that Macro Seguranca initiates disciplinary, and possibly criminal proceedings against the two men, who can be clearly identified.”
