Négy megyében, harminchárom helyszínen volt rajtaütés egy nap alatt.

A vagyonvédelemben munkaerő-kölcsönzéssel foglalkozó bűnszervezetet számoltak fel a Nemzeti Adó- és Vámhivatal (NAV) dél-dunántúli nyomozói, a szervezet több mint egymilliárd forint kárt okozott a költségvetésnek - közölte a NAV Dél-Dunántúli Bűnügyi Igazgatósága hétfőn az MTI-vel.

A közlemény szerint a szervezet irányítói olyan - főként Tolna és Pest megyében tevékenykedő - céghálózatot hoztak létre, amely alvállalkozói munkaerő-kölcsönző gazdasági társaságokból állt. A láncolat tetején lévő négy cég fővállalkozóként vagyonvédelmi és őrzésbiztonsági munkát vállalt szabályos alvállalkozói szerződések alapján. A feladatok elvégzéséhez a láncolat további cégeitől kölcsönöztek munkaerőt, és a megbízást közvetítő cégeken keresztül átszámlázták nekik.Az őrzés-védelmet ténylegesen végző munkavállalók úgyne ...

Anna Campbell – Rest in Power Fellow Worker

It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of Fellow Worker Anna Campbell, killed while fighting alongside Kurdish Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) in the defence of Afrin.

stronghold. However when Turkey launched an assault on the city of Afrin in late January Anna insiste ... Tovább »

Az autó a Borough Market városrészig száguldott. Ott kiugrottak belőle, és késsel támadtak az emberekre a merénylők, a szemtanúk szerint azt kiabálták, hogy "Ez Allahnak"
Sokáig hat halottról szóltak a hírek, vasárnap délelőtt a hetedik áldozat is elhunyt. 48 embert vittek kőrházba

Around 10 people are dead and an estimated 20 more are wounded following a bomb attack on a busy St. Petersburg subway train in Russia. A second device was found at a different subway station, and a bomb squad was called in to reduce it.

The device responsible for the deadly blast was hidden in a brief case and left aboard one of the train’s passenger cars. The bomb is said to have been made deadlier with the excessive shrapnel fragmentation materials used in its construction.

All subway stations within the city have been temporarily closed, and security has been tightened at all public transportation facilities. Russian President Putin was in the city a ... Tovább »
