Industry NewsAT A GLANCEWe cast our eye over the main stories impacting the security industry. Here's what's appeared on the radar since the last issue.Jiu-jitsu legend Leandro Lo shot dead in Brazil club Leandro Lo, the Jiu-Jitsu world champion from Brazil, was shot and killed at a club in Sao Paulo.The suspect, an off-duty police officer, Henrique Otávio Oliveira Velozo, had reportedly swiped a bottle from Lo’s table. The action prompted the jiu-jitsu fighter to take him down and hold him. They were separated, and then Velozo got back 8 to his feet, pulled a gun and shot at Lo’s forehead. Lo was taken to Dr. Arthur Ribeiro de Saboya hospital but was declared brain dead hours later.When in a foreign territory notoriously known for extreme violent crimes like Brazil the goal is never allow yourself to be sucked into a worthless ego fight over anything material.” – Ben Alozie The 2½ seconds of security lapses that sealed Shinzo Abe's fate Bodyguards could have saved Shinzo Abe's life had they shielded or removed him from the line of fire in the 2½ seconds between a missed first shot and a second round of gunfire that fatally wounded him, according to eight security experts who reviewed footage of the former Japanese leader's assassination.The failure to protect Abe from the second shot followed a series of security lapses in the lead-up to the assassination of Japan's longest-serving prime minister on July 8, the Japanese and international experts said.In addition to the security experts, Reuters spoke to six witnesses at the scene and examined multiple videos available online, taken from different angles, to piece together a detailed account of security measures ahead of Abe's shooting.After leaving 67-year-old Abe exposed from behind as he spoke on a traffic island on a public road, his security detail allowed the shooter — identified by police as Tetsuya Yamagami, 41 — to come unchecked within metres of Abe. Yamagami was carrying a weapon, the footage showed."They should have seen the attacker very deliberately walking toward the rear of the prime minister and intervened," said Kenneth Bombace, head of Global Threat Solutions, which provided security to Joe Biden when he was a presidential candidate.Although Abe's security tackled the assailant moments later and arrested him, it was the "wrong response" for some of the security to go after the shooter instead of moving to protect Abe, said Mitsuru Fukuda, a Nihon University professor specializing in crisis management and terrorism.There was enough security, "but no sense of danger," said Yasuhiro Sasaki, a retired police officer in Saitama prefecture near Tokyo."Everyone was startled and no one went to where Abe was," he said.Prince Andrew will KEEP his police bodyguards following review of his security detail in wake of Jeffrey Epstein scandal Prince Andrew will continue having taxpayerfunded, round-the-clock police protection after a full review of his security by the Metropolitan Police and Home Office.The review was revealed in January after the Queen stripped her second-eldest son of his military and charitable affiliations, as well as stopping him from using his HRH title. He later agreed to a significant financial settlement with Virginia Giuffre, who brought a legal case against him in the US and claimed he sexually abused her three times in 2001 when she was 17 after being trafficked by paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing.The settlement was originally claimed to cost £12million but reports last weekend asserted Andrew’s lawyers negotiated a cut-price deal between £3million to £5million.The Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures assessed the security threat against Andrew but concluded he was still entitled to police bodyguards, according to the Daily Telegraph.Andrew will continue to have a personal protection officer whenever he leaves his home. The 30-room Royal Lodge on the Queen’s Windsor estate has permanent security arrangements.Andrew no longer undertakes official royal duties. The current day-to-day activities of the disgraced prince are unknown beyond horse riding and regular visits to the Queen. Andrew’s security is estimated to cost the public purse between £2million and £3million annually.General charged with murder in new twist to case of bodyguard Police in South Jakarta had initially said 27-year-old Bodyguard Nopryansyah Yosua Hutabarat had died on July 8 in a shootout with another team member at the home of his boss – Inspector General Ferdy Sambo, the head of internal affairs at the National Police – after sexually harassing Sambo’s wife.But after Hutabarat’s family claimed he had been tortured and his body was exhumed for a second autopsy, that narrative has been ripped up and replaced by a far more sinister version of events.Hours after President Joko Widodo again weighed in on the episode urging a thorough probe to protect the reputation of the police, the country’s top police officer said investigators now believe Sambo, 49, had ordered the killing of his bodyguard and driver and attempted to cover it up.General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, the national police chief, told reporters that an investigation involving ballistic and forensic examination, CCTV footage and phone records had determined that Hutabarat had been shot at in the direction of Sambo.“After the fatal shooting, [Sambo] fired [Hutabarat’s] gun into the wall of his house in an attempt to simulate a shootout,” Prabowo said.Sambo has been charged with premeditated murder, an offence that carries the death penalty in Indonesia, as have two other men including another member of his protection crew.A fourth man, junior officer Second Patrolman Richard Eliezer Lumiu, 24, who is accused of firing the fatal shots at Hutabarat on the instruction of Sambo, has been charged with murder.According to news reports in Indonesia, Hutabarat had been suspected of having an affair with Sambo’s wife, Putri Candrawathi, for whom he also served as a driver and aide.But police said they were still investigating the motive behind the shooting.Oligarch ‘left fearing for his life in Ukraine bomb shelter’ as he faces trial A billionaire who lived in a £62.5 million London mansion has been hiding in his tracksuit in a bunker in Ukraine fearful of being targeted in a Russian hit, a court has been told.Gennadiy Bogolyubov spent years enjoying his lavish home on Belgrave Square after moving to London in 2009 with his future wife Sofia.But the High Court has been told that Mr Bogolyubov – who is fighting legal claims that he and fellow oligarch Igor Kolomoisky defrauded billions of pounds from Ukraine’s biggest bank – is now a “frightened man” who has been forced to go into hiding in his home country because of the danger from Russian strikes and the threat that he will be targeted personally by Vladimir Putin’s forces.His barrister Clare Montgomery QC told a hearing that the war has “rendered oligarchy a worthless concept in the Ukraine” and that Mr Bogolyubov “ends up as a man in his tracksuit leaving his home because he is frightened of being bombed.“He has lost his bodyguards, it doesn’t appear that money would buy you bodyguards in the situation that appertains in Ukraine, and there he is faced with being on the Russian sanctions list, of being the subject potentially of the list for capture and either death or removal to Russia if the stories about the Russian hit list are true.”Four people shot and injured at Marbella nightclub 'where Spanish king's nephew was celebrating birthday' Four people have been shot in a Marbella nightclub after a gunman went on a rampage on the crowded dancefloor.The shootings took place in the early hours of this morning at Opium Beach Club, a club popular with British tourists in the Spanish holiday hotspot.Footage shared online shows a fight breaking out among revellers in the VIP section, before a shooter took out his gun, causing a huge stampede as partygoers desperately fled the venue in chaotic scenes.He was then stabbed in the head and torso, sources said, and he remains in hospital in a serious condition.Police sources said the gunman was Dutch and one of the victims was an Irishman who was shot in the chest.At the club last night was Froilán de Marichalar, the nephew of the Spanish King Felipe VI, who was celebrating his 24th birthday, Look claimed.Dutch Love Island star Kelly van der Minne was also partying there and the influencer described the moment a woman on the table next to her was shot in her backside.The shooting is believed to have occurred during a fight between two groups of revellers in a VIP area of the beach club after a man was thrown out moments earlier by bouncers.He is understood to have returned moments later to confront the gunman who reacted by pulling out a pistol after being knifed and missing his intended target as he fired the weapon.One man could be seen grabbing a giant bottle of Belvedere Vodka and swinging it round his head while another took his shirt off as if he was preparing for a punch-up before the shots rang out.One source said: 'The bouncers are understood to have thrown out a man who had been involved in an altercation and that man is believed to have returned with a knife and gone for the gunman who he had previously had a fight with.'Police are working on the theory the gunman reacted by getting out the weapon he was carrying and trying to shoot him after being stabbed, but he missed his target and instead shot four other people.'SIA Releases its Annual Business Plan – Highest Ever Number of Applicants The SIA intends to have ‘a significantly more visible presence’, the chief executive of the UK sector regulator has said in the document, Mark Rowe reports.The plan is for the number of SIA posts to top 400; in contrast to many years when it had something like 200 staffers. The rise is explained by the two largest categories: ‘Licensing and Standards’ 145 posts, and ‘Inspections and Enforcement’ 130.The document covers what the Authority plans to do in 2022-23 to deliver on its corporate plan, the resources that will be deployed, the performance indicators and measures the SIA will use to monitor progress and the ‘key strategic risks’. To repeat, the document states that the SIA will be ‘significantly increasing resourcing, our visibility and impact in our compliance, inspection and enforcement work across the UK’. On the other arm of the SIA’s work (and income) besides SIA individual licences, the approved contractor scheme (ACS), a perennial subject for reform or tweaks, the document speaks of a scheme ‘fit for the future supporting high standards in security provision’.SIA in numbers According to the document, the SIA predicts over the year a total of 140,000 applications for individual licences will be received, ‘around 10,000 higher than experienced in the corresponding year of the preceding three-year licensing cycle. The SIA anticipates receiving over 230,000 ‘service requests’ in the technical support jargon; and 60,000 telephone calls in support of applications. The UK has some 445,000 ‘active licences’, and last year saw the highest ever number of applications received since the SIA began badging the sector in the mid-2000s.
