Gestion de Seguridad S.A. (Gesegur SAC) is a subsidiary of 3D Global Solutions based in Peru. In November 2005, Peruvian daily "La Republica" revealed that 3D Global Solutions was recruiting through Wackenhut Peru, a Lima-based firm, which is in charge of the security of the U.S. Embassy since 1987. 562 Peruvians on a contract with MVM Inc. (which contracted with 3D Global Solutions) went to Iraq, and 240 others are going to Kabul (Afghanistan). According to "La Republica", recruits from Colombia, El Salvador or Chile are payed between two and four thousands dollars a month, while Peruvians are payed a mere $ 1 000.
In August 2005, Hondurian newspaper "La Tribuna" had already revealed that Triple Canopy was recruiting in Honduras for the Iraq War, payed a $1000/month. This caused an uproar in Honduras, the government ordering the expulsion of 105 Chilean trainees, who had illegally entered the territory. The Hondurian camp was based in Lepaterique, which had been used in the past by the Contras and Argentinian 601 Intelligence Battalion, which was involved in Operation Condor.
