One of the passages of the letter to the Minister of Transport with the subject: “Malversations financières et risque de grève à la Camair-Co” is:

“We decided to enter the SCC soon if the government continues to refuse to change the CEO. We will not die all to lose our livelihood by the greed of one man. As he sacks all those who denounce his malpractice, we prefer to remain anonymous, but not for long. We will use all means possible, including strike action, to chase Mr. Nana Sandjo, whose only job is to steal our money. “

According to employees of the group, “we will soon be expelled from Roissy for unpaid bills“. The airport of Paris has already seized the company’s accounts meanwhile the company Eurocontrol is claiming 743,000 euros, and that failure to pay this sum, Camair-Co can no longer fly towards the French capital.
