G4S is set to face civil action from the family of Jimmy Mubenga, who was unlawfully killed in 2010 when G4S staff forcibly restrained him.

A verdict of the use of unlawful force was passed down by Isleworth crown court, which stated that the three guards: “were using unreasonable force and acting in an unlawful manner”, is likely to have wide repercussions for the governments management of outsourced security contracts in relation to immigration.

G4S no longer holds the contract with the Home Office, with Capita owned Tascor now running the contract.

The three security staff are no longer employed with the security giant, however the training of security staff still involved in deportations has been called into question.

Current security guards involved with the current contract have expressed concerns with current training practices according to the Guardian.
