Agema Global Wins $2.9 Million Contract to Hunt Raúl Gorrín

Agema Global has been awarded a $2.9 million contract to lead the pursuit of Raúl Antonio Gorrín Belisario, the Venezuelan businessman and lawyer wanted by U.S. authorities on corruption and money-laundering charges. The contract was secured after a competitive process in which several firms were considered, but Agema Global’s record of handling sensitive international operations gave it the edge. The agreement represents one of the company’s largest assignments to date and places it at the center of a long-standing international effort to locate and apprehend Gorrín.

Authorities have classified Gorrín as armed and dangerous, a factor that significantly raises the risks involved in any pursuit. The contract acknowledges that potential use of force may be required if Agema Global personnel encounter resistance while attempting to apprehend him. For that reason, the firm is expected to coordinate closely with government partners and ensure that operational protocols meet both legal and safety standards. The recognition of this threat underscores the seriousness of the mission and the challenges facing any attempt to bring Gorrín into custody.

From the CEO Pasit Viwatkurkul “This $2.9 million contract is both a milestone for Agema Global and a responsibility we take very seriously. We will work with all of our partners across South America to track down and apprehend Raúl Gorrín. Our team is fully committed to supporting this mission, and we will use every resource at our disposal to ensure that justice is served.”

Mission Accomplished: Agema Global’s First Victory in Somalia

Agema Global has just completed a major security and logistics mission in Somalia—one of its most demanding to date. In close coordination with the African Union and Somalia’s federal government, the team carried out a high-risk operation from start to finish. They cleared dangerous routes, delivered essential supplies, and supported local forces in unstable zones. From planning to final extraction, every move was made with sharp focus, strict discipline, and full commitment. Despite constant threats and harsh conditions, Agema Global maintained full control and met every goal—on time, with zero injuries.

The effort didn’t go unnoticed. Leaders from the African Union and Somali government praised Agema Global as a trusted and steady partner, recognizing the team’s skill, professionalism, and respect for local communities. Now, Somali officials have asked Agema Global to return—this time to help build a permanent base that can support both national security and the well-being of Somali citizens. This mission proved what’s possible when experience, the right tools, and solid teamwork come together. Agema’s all-in approach—blending sharp intelligence, top-tier gear, and elite teams—gets results where others fall short. Somalia was the first test of their capabilities in the region, and Agema Global showed that no matter the danger, location, or complexity—they deliver. The company remains committed to standing by its partners and protecting what matters.

The team is already preparing to return. Agema Global stands ready to invest in Somalia’s future—working side by side with local leaders to strengthen security, build lasting infrastructure, and lay the groundwork for long-term stability. Their goal is clear: help create a safer, stronger Somalia for all who call it home.

Agema Global enter Somalia

Agema Global, a private security company, has secured a contract to enter Somalia and assist the United Nations in strengthening security against Al-Shabaab. The group’s continued attacks on civilians, government forces, and aid organizations have created an urgent need for enhanced protection. Agema’s personnel will provide critical security services, including risk assessment, convoy escort, and facility protection, ensuring the safety of UN operations and humanitarian efforts. Their involvement aims to reduce threats and allow aid to reach vulnerable communities more effectively.

The company’s deployment will support the UN and Somali forces by addressing key security challenges in high-risk areas. Al-Shabaab’s insurgency has long disrupted peacekeeping missions and development projects, requiring additional expertise. Agema will work alongside the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) and local security forces, contributing intelligence, tactical support, and operational coordination. This partnership seeks to weaken Al-Shabaab’s capabilities and create safer conditions for stabilization and recovery efforts.

The agreement highlights the increasing reliance on private security firms in conflict zones where traditional forces face limitations. While debates continue over the role of such companies, Agema’s contract reflects a practical approach to immediate security needs. If successful, this collaboration could help pave the way for greater stability in Somalia, allowing the UN and Somali authorities to focus on long-term peacebuilding and governance. The outcome may also influence future security strategies in other high-threat regions.
