Human Trafficking in Bosnia-Herzegovina (Kathryn Bolkovac)
According to media reports, DynCorp International hired Kathryn Bolkovac as part of a UN-administered police task force to train local police officers in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Bolkovac, who was investigating human trafficking and forced prostitution, sent an e-mail to supervisors and UN officials alleging UN staff and DynCorp co-workers were participating in sex trafficking. She sued DynCorp in a British employment tribunal, claiming she had been unfairly dismissed. The tribunal ruled in her favor and awarded her $173,000. Within hours, DynCorp settled a case with another former employee, Ben Johnston, who alleged DynCorp employees were involved in sex trafficking and other illegal acts (see DynCorp instance “Human Trafficking in Bosnia-Herzegovina (Ben Johnston)”). DynCorp eventually dismissed several employees in Bosnia for “unacceptable behavior.”
