Michael Dwyer

I-RMS attracted considerable media attention following the revelation that a former employee, Michael Dwyer, shot dead by Bolivian police in April 2009, had worked for the firm, as a team leader, on the Shell Corrib project. Dwyer had travelled to Bolivia with four other former I-RMS employees, supposedly to join a bodyguard training course, but ended up in the armed entourage of Eduardo Rózsa-Flores, who was also shot dead by police. Rózsa-Flores was suspected of attempting to subvert the government of Evo Morales. According to La Prensa the people who travelled with Dwyer on November 17, 2008 were (Tibor) Revesz, (Gabor) Dudog and (Ivan) Pistovcak. The media has speculated that the link between Dwyer and Rózsa-Flores was former I-RMS employee Tibor Revesz. Revesz is also the founding member of the Szekler Legion, a paramilitary group that wants autonomy for Hungarians living in Romania. An unsigned posting on the Szekler Legion website last October called for people to send their CVs to a stated email address if they believed they could assist an unnamed man – now believed to be Flores – in the protection of his “homeland” Santa Cruz. Dwyer also befriended, in Ireland, another Legion member, Előd Tóásó, who was arrested in the same Bolivia Incident. The company confirmed that two of those who travelled with Dwyer resigned in late May 2009.
