Amazon Accused of Hiring Neo-Nazi Guards in Germany to Intimidate Foreign Workers 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Online retailer Amazon is facing a scandal in Germany amid allegations
it employed security guards with neo-Nazi ties in a bid to intimidate
foreign workers. A documentary broadcast by Germany’s ARD television
channel revealed guards in black uniforms, boots and military haircuts
commonly searched the living spaces of migrant workers. The firm is
called HESS Security, which ARD implied was a reference to Adolf
Hitler’s deputy, Rudolf Hess.
